This is one cool utility to keep your windows registry neat and clean. And the best part is – it is FREE!

Supported Platforms:  Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7

Now there is a load of features mentioned in the product details page, i would not list them here. Instead i would say that it has saved me from frustrations with the previous programs that i tried (all free of course!).

I have been looking for a free registry cleaner for a long time. Most of the programs i found where either paid or trial versions. Some of the programs would advertise as free only to deceive at the end when it allows the scanning to complete and shows errors, but to fix the errors you need to pay! Now how annoying is that.

Eusing registry cleaner is easy to use and very fast. It completed the registry scanning under 5 minutes on my pc which is loaded with 50+ extra softwares/games/downloads.

It is now one month since i installed this software. My PC is running considerably faster without any technical issues.

If you love free things that work then this program is a must try.

Put the following lines of code in htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

It is really simple.

Just put the following 2 lines at the top of the page you are trying to redirect.

header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);
header (‘location: <<your landing page>>”);

Replace <<your landing page>> with the URL of the landing page.

Remember, you need these 2 lines before any output statement is made on your script, else you will get a ‘headers already sent’ error.

Just completed a Google sitemap script in PHP. I had been long searching for a script for static sites but found none suitable. Most scripts are incomplete and wont run on my server. Plus i did not want to spend money after a simple thing such as a sitemap. So i wrote my own script in PHP.

You can download it from http://www.webdesignvista.com/scripts/sitemap.zip, for any support related queries post a comment below this post.

Some people are asking $20 – $25 for the same set of features! I dont charge a penny for it! Its FREE!!!

Have a look at the features below:

1. Set option to ignore certain files
2. Set option to ignore certain file extensions (ex. doc, pdf etc)
3. Set option to ignore certain folders.
4. Sitemap updates automatically each time you create/upload a static file on your server – so no ongoing administration needed from your side
5. Follows sitemap protocol specified by Google.
6. Includes style sheet to get a nice sitemap output like this one: http://www.aetw.org/sitemap.php

Installation Instructions:
1. Unzip sitemap.zip
2. Upload sitemap.php, sitemap_config.php and sitemap_style.xls to your root directory (document root).
3. Open sitemap_config.php and set up values for your own website.
4. Open sitemap.php in browser – you are done!

If you have trouble using this sitemap or have any queries then post a comment below this post.

Best Scripts on the Internet – Scripts.com™!

If you have a blogspot blog you must have noticed the blogger navigation bar at the top of the page. Looks distracting to me!

If you want to know how to hide that navigation bar from displaying, there are 2 tricks – one based on javascript and the 2nd one pure CSS code.

Here i am describing the CSS hack to hide the navigation bar. Javascript code for hiding the navigation bar will be posted later.

Here is what need to do:

Login to your blogger account

Click on ‘Layout’ option

Click on ‘Edit HTML’ option under ‘Layout’ tab

You will be presented with the ‘Edit Template’ screen

Find following line

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: small;
text-align: center;
color: $textcolor;
background: #000000
}

[NOTE: code between body{ } may vary depending on the template chosen]

Just below this code copy and paste the following code -

#navbar-iframe{

display: none;

}

Now save the template and publish.

Thats it, you are done! Check out the blog in a new window. The navigation bar will be gone.
