Well unfortunantly there are many websites that have been designed to only work with Internet Explorer. Employer timecard applications, the Real Estate Information Network / MLS, even some Citibank web pages.</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> Here is the quick and easy way to do it.</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> Install wine and cabextractor using your package manager:</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> yum install wine cabextractor</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> Download the IEs4Linux script:</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-2.0.5.tar.gz.tar.gz</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> Extract:</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> tar zxvf ies4linux-2.0.5.tar.gz</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> Run the script: </span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;"> cd ies4linux-2.0.5.tar.gz</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;">./ies4linux</span><br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial;" /> <span style="font-family: Arial;">Follow the script...

This site is ran on a Microsoft server. They're really not helping out their self image though, my default homepage in IE has been showing this off and on today: </p> <p><font face="Arial"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.redgreenblur.com/images/msn.jpg"></a></font></p> <p>click for the full screen version...</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://digg.com/microsoft/Microsoft_embarrassment"></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Pay for your hosting with Google Ads</h1> <p>2007-08-01T13:15:55-04:00:00</p> <p>There are no free handouts in business but Google's AdSense program comes pretty close. If you are looking for an easy way to offset the cost of your hosting and domain registration fees then its for you. I was reading an article is Business Week a couple of weeks ago about how 14 top bloggers earn money with their sites. Most impressive was a picture of the owner of shoemoney.com holding a $130,000 check from Google. If that won't inspire you to make interesting content then I don't know what will. It takes less than 5 minutes to setup and it's really easy to add to your site. <br /> <br /> First sign up with Google. You can sign up by clicking here: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.redgreenblur.com/adwords.html">Google Adsense</a></p> <p>During the setup process Google will give you a javascript code snippet to paste on your page somewhere. If you're planning to use the ads on a Subtext blog it can be a little tricky figuring out where to paste the code. You'll want to go inside your Skins directory and find the PageTemplate.ascx for the current skin your using. (ie: Skins/RedBook/PageTemplate.ascx) If you want your ad bar at the bottom like this page just add your code the end of this file.<br /> <br /> Google has a great user interface for keeping track of hits and will pay you monthly by either check or direct deposit.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Subtext, Godaddy and redgreenblur</h1> <p>2007-07-25T18:30:18-04:00:00</p> So here is the start of a new blog about random things that I find interesting. The most interesting thing going on right now is my battle with getting Subtext working with my Godaddy Economy Hosting account...<br /> <br /> I found a blog posting about setting Subtext up with Godaddy over at fallingcanbedeadly.com but still had a couple issues getting up and running. <a href="http://fallingcanbedeadly.com/blog/archive/2007/06/10/just-switched-to-subtext-1.9.5.aspx"><font size="1">(http://fallingcanbedeadly.com/blog/archive/2007/06/10/just-switched-to-subtext-1.9.5.aspx)</font></a> Here is my version of running Subtext on Godaddy:<br /> <br /> Start by downloading the latest version of the Subtext Install package from www.subtextproject.com and extracting these files to a temporary folder.<br /> <br /> Login to Godaddy and open the hosting control panel for the domain you want to install Subtext on.<br /> <br /> Set your Content Root ASP.NET Runtime to version 2.0 with the Directory Management tool.<br /> Create a directory named "blog" with Read, Write, Web, and Setroot permissions.<br /> <br /> Using the Database tool create a new SQL Server Database. You can make the database name, username, and password whatever you want.<br /> After the database setup is complete click the Edit/View Details button, then the Configuration button. Your going to need to use some of the information from the SqlConnection string.<br /> * SqlConnection (.NET):<br /> * Data Source=YOURSERVER; Initial Catalog=YOURDATABASE; User ID=YOURUSERID; Password='YOURPASSWORD';<br /> <br /> Open the Web.config file from the root of the Subtext install package you downloaded and make the following changes:<br /> (line numbers are estimated)<br /> <br /> Database connection string-Line 40: <br /> <font size="1"><add name="subtextData" connectionString="Server=YOURSERVER; Database=YOURDATABASE; User ID=YOURUSERID; Password=YOURPASSWORD; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></font><br /> <br /> Email settings for godaddy-Line 168:<br /> <font size="1"><add name="SystemMailProvider" type="Subtext.Framework.Email.SystemMailProvider, Subtext.Framework" <br /> smtpServer="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" <br /> username="" <br /> password="" <br /> adminEmail="youremail@yourdomain.com"/> </font><br /> <br /> Forgot Admin Password Email-Line 360:<br /> <font size="1"><add key="HostEmailAddress" value="youremailaddress@domain.com"/></font><br /> <br /> Trust Level-Line 379:<br /> <font size="1"></font><br /> <br /> Custom Errors-Line 410:<br /> <font size="1"><customErrors mode="Off"/> <br /> </font><br /> <br /> Now you will need to upload your Subtext folder to your Godaddy hosting account using your favorite ftp client. Place all of the Subtext files and folders into the "blog" folder we created earlier.<br /> <br /> Open your browser and go to http://www.yourdomain.com/blog. The Subtext installer will take it from here.<br /> <br /> If you want you can make a redirect Default.aspx page in your root folder to forward visitors to the blog. Just copy and paste the following into a text editor and save it as Default.aspx. Change "yourdomain" and upload it into your root folder.
