I love Firefox, it does everything I need from a brower with the add-ons I've installed, however how I work, I need to run two copies. I use Google Doc's, and a few other sites that you can only be logged into with one user name per browser. I had tried using a bit of coding to run 2 separate instances of Firefox, however I ran into a few issues so needed to use a completely different browser. Which one to use. I tried Safri, IE, Opera, and Lunascape. Didn't really like any of them then I found Flock.

Had to help a client see images on her site today. Had me a bit perplexed in the beginning, however I figured it had to do with her browser and not with the site, and that was correct.

She had sent me an email that she had deleted all the images from a page, which kinda freaked me out for a bit, but they were there when I accessed the site.

So how do you fix this perplexing situation?

From with in Firefox (I'm using 3 currently)
Tools>Options>Content Tab

After exporting the db from the live site, goto your local phpMyAdmin
Select your local wp database on the left, and then Import
Browse to your file, and then select Go
After the import you need to change two entries in the DB both are in wp_options
siteurl needs to be changed to your local site url &
home also needs to be changed to your local url

Also you will need to login with the live site user name and password, not the one you may have set up originally for the local site.

Well I ran into some trouble installing XAMPP on my new laptop, and I figured if I have to read a howto somewhere I might as well try the new WAMP. I've been reading about it, and it's used in a few video how to's I've seen on Drupal, so though I'd give it a go.

Downloaded WAMP from: http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and installed it following these instructions:

Install the exe file you just downloaded.

Well I've had to search all over for this and never did find it anywhere, but was able to put something together that I think is going to work. So here we go...

AVG Firewall>Configure>Applications>Add Application

Application name: Whatever name you want to name it
Application path: click on the ... and find the exe for the program you want to make the adjustment for, in this case uTorrent. To put in custom name you actually have to do it after you have the Application accepted.

Action: Select from the drop down list: Advanced configuration>Create Rule
