    Trouble with web developer

    Hi, Domain ownership is important. Mysterons is right and you should have the ownership details changed to yourself and your address. A 'CMS', aka content management system enables you to log into your site via your web browser to make changes. These range from the complex systems like Joomla...

    LinkedIn

    Great advice already. i second all the advice provided. Especially using the Q&A and the advice about not just connecting with anyone. Also use it as an opportunity to also reconnect with people you've worked with in the past, as well as making new connections. Perhaps this could lead to new...

    SugarCRM

    You might want to consider Vtiger. It could be a fork of sugarcrm. Plus I believe there is an installer which provides the wamp enviro for you (Windows Apache MySQL php). http://www.vtiger.com is the link.

    Combine multiple RSS feeds into one

    That all depends on the site you've setup. For instance if it's a wordpress blog you can easily add it via the widgets. Worth researching the available modules for a content management system if your using one. They could be one available which just requires you to add the new rss feed to a...

    Act Crm

    I used to be a database consultant and used Act!, Goldmine, Maximizer and others. Used to enjoy using Act! most of all out of the database packages. I believe Act! now uses a Microsoft SQL Server on your computer and is a lot larger these days with more features. For many, especially small...

    Combine multiple RSS feeds into one

    They is easily done with yahoo pipes. I think google has their own solution also, but I've only used yahoo pipes. You can bring in different rss feeds, sort them and great a new rss feed. Yahoo pipes uses a flow chart type system and is very easy to use. It is a very powerful system.

    Open office users - would you ever go back to Microsoft?

    I quite like the Microsoft Office package. It is amazing what some people can achieve with the features. Faevilangel is right though, "It's an expensive purchase for little use". Most users simply don't need the latest versions or Open Office is more than suitable for their requirements. For...

    Soundcard for Windows 7

    Sorry to read your sound stopped working. As you've got a soundcard, it could be that your motherboard has onboard sound also? Worth checking out if the correct device is selected for playback. For Windows 7: 1. Right click on the speaker icon in your system tray (bottom right of the screen...

    CMS

    These days I prefer wordpress over joomla, but both are excellent cms solutions with plenty of modules, available templates, huge communities and receive regular core package updates. Though both can be overkill for small businesses. If you require a simple solution for a small site, then a...

    Flowchart or design software needed

    Dia is a fantastic free flowchart package, but I wouldn't bother trying to use a flowchart package to draw a street map. I would use a graphics app instead. You may want to check out paint.net, never used it personally, but I hear it's very good. Gimp has been around for a while and is very...

    Best Way To

    Flyers.....billboards, newspaper ads, television ads, internet ads, telesales etc.... we all get bombarded with them everyday. A flyer through the door on it's own has more impact with me, than one accompanying a newspaper. With a flyer I will take note when it's good quality paper, often a...

    Best Way To

    I like Lindsay's solution of sorting out the number asap and then turning it off! Excellent advice. Plus sipgate a voip provider is still providing free phone numbers I believe. Ideal if you don't want a mobile number on your site, but a local landline. SEO is important (and something I do for...

    Fasthosts

    Hi, Never used fasthosts, but if php is setup, then along with your ftp access you could use a flatfile content management system (cms). You would probably need to play around with templates though as flat file cms's have limited ones available. Nanocms is a flat file cms i've used many a...
