Hello everyone. The MyPTSMail Staff has upgraded everyone’s blog to Wordpress 2.8. As some of you have already discovered, this upgrade caused a problem making the Post Tags feature of posting not work properly. The problem was with the Category-Icons plugin. The fix involved replacing a file. We have already replaced this file for everyone. You should be able to once again add tags to your posts. If you are still experiencing difficulties, clear the cache in your browser or contact us. For the details of the fix, visit:

Thanks.

If TinyMCE is not loading properly or the editor is stuck in HTML mode and won’t switch to Visual, there are several things to try and fix it:
1. Make sure the “Use the visual editor” checkbox in your profile is selected.
2. Clear your browser’s cache, quit it, start it again, go back to the write page and force-reload it several times, while holding down Shift (Firefox) or Ctrl (IE).
3. Delete both wp-admin and wp-includes directories and upload fresh copies from the WordPress installation package.
4. In Firefox, go to the following URL:
[your site]/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
It should open a large text (JavaScript) file, first line starting with var tinyMCEPreInit = ... and last line starting with tinyMCE.init({mode:"none",....
If it’s a text file but doesn’t start and end as above, it is being pulled from network cache somewhere between the computer and the server. Reloading it a few times while holding down Shift/Ctrl may force the cache to refresh. After this, go back to the write/edit page and refresh it again.
If it’s full with garbled characters, it usually means that compression on the server is enabled, but not set properly in php.ini. In this case either edit tiny_mce_config.php and change 'compress' => true, to 'compress' => false, to stop the compression of TinyMCE, or download this small plugin that will do it automatically.
If TinyMCE loads properly but the “Add Link” or “Edit Image” pop-up doesn’t work or show only empty frame, right-click in it and select Refresh while holding down Ctrl in IE, or This Frame -> Reload while holding down Shift in Firefox.
This is the same caching issue as above, but affecting only the pop-ups. Try these URLs with Firefox:
[your site]/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/js/link.js
[your site]/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/js/image.js
and force-refresh them several times to try to update the network cache.
In any case, the pop-ups will start working after a few hours (or may be a day) when the cache is refreshed.
And finally if none of the above fixes worked, try Firefox with Firebug and notice any js errors or any missing files (red 404s in the “Net” tab). If there are js errors, copy only the first one and see if it already has been discussed here, or open new thread with the specific error.

Converting to NTFS Using Convert.exe
To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
1.
Open Command Prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
2.
In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
Important Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32. You will need to reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data, including programs and personal files, on the partition.

To control how the cleanup process works, you need to first know the executable command for the Disk Cleanup utility, cleanmgr.exe. Then you need to learn to use the following switches to modify its behavior:
/D driveletter Runs Disk Cleanup using the drive letter you specify in place of driveletter (for example, type cleanmgr /d c:, to apply the utility to drive C). (This option is ignored if you use the /Sagerun switch.)
/Sageset:n Opens a dialog box that lets you select Disk Cleanup options, creates a registry key that corresponds to the number you entered (where n is an arbitrary number from 0 through 65535), and then saves your settings in that key.
/Sagerun:n Retrieves the saved settings for the number you enter in place of n and then runs Disk Cleanup without requiring any interaction on your part.
To put all the pieces together, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, Run (or open a Command Prompt window) and type the command cleanmgr /sageset:200. (This number is completely arbitrary; you can choose any number from 0 through 65535.)
2. In the Disk Cleanup Settings dialog box, choose the options you want to apply whenever you use these settings. In this example, I’ve cleared all the check boxes except the one in front of Temporary files.
3. Click OK to save your changes in the registry.
4. Create a shortcut that uses the command cleanmgr /sagerun:200. Save the shortcut in the Windows folder using a descriptive name – Clean Temp Files, for instance.
5. Open Control Panel’s Scheduled Tasks folder and start the Add Scheduled Task Wizard. When prompted to select the program you want Windows to run, click Browse and select the shortcut you just created. Follow the wizard’s remaining prompts to schedule the command to run at regular intervals.
6. Repeat steps 1–5 for other Disk Cleanup options you want to automate.

The simple answer is that a blog is like a journal. It’s great if you want to have an ongoing dialogue or discussion. Say, if the kids are keeping a daily diary about their homework, or about any topic.
A wiki, however, is less about new content every day, and more about evolving the same content over time.
So for example, on a wiki, you could have a student post an essay, and then another student can make some additions and corrections, and another, and another, and over time the essay improves and becomes the work of the whole class.
Blogs are about communicating, wikis are about getting work done, or working together.
Would you like a blog or wiki with full technical support by phone? Would you like both? Start a blog or wiki today.
