The Google Adsense is like a bonus for my sites, including Yin's Family, David Yin's Blog, G2Soft.Net, and Canadian Insurance Advisor.

I love the internet, which provide the space to communicate with friends and family members, to share the thought, experience, and contribute the free time to help others.

It is a community. I post something interesting, and other browser them and go out through the links. Some links are set by Google Adsense, whith is an advertisement system. As a publisher, google will pay part of the advertisement revenue to us for the links from my sites.

When the balance of the Google Adsense account reaching $100, the payment will be send.

I got the first payment on Jan. 26, 2006. It is good and I will focus on it.

Sometimes, we have to test our monitor, or LCD. This software, Monitors Matter CheckScreen can be used to test both of them.

Monitors Matter CheckScreen V1.2 is a professional test software.

This is one of the best programs intended to test your monitor! It will allow to properly adjust the monitor before testing. Then you will be able to perform the following tests: colour, focus, geometry, power supply, streaking. CheckScreen has a separate tab for LCD testing, which contains the following additional tests: crosstalk, smearing, pixel check, tracking!

Let's look at the main screen of it.

CSS is very important for Web Standard.
Following is the benefits you will receive if you use CSS.

* Conserves user bandwidth, speeding page load times, especially over dial-up.
* Reduces owner server and bandwidth overhead, thus saving money.
* Reduces design and development time.
* Reduces updating and maintenance time.
* Increases interoperability by adhering to W3C recommendations.
* Increases accessibility by removing some, many, or all presentational elements from markup.

There are 10 reasons to convert HTML to XHTML

1)
XHTML is the current markup standart, replacing HTML4.

2)
XHTML is designed to work well with other XML-based markup languages, applications, and protocols - an advantage that HTML lacks.

3)
XHTML is more consistent than HTML, so it's less likely to cause problems of function and display.

4)
XHTML 1.0 is a bridge to future versions of XHTML. Should the XHTML 2 draft specification achieve final recommendation stats, it will be easier to adapt to it from XHTML 1.0 than from HTML.

5)
Old browsers are as comfortable with XHTML as they are with HTML. There's no advantage to XHTML in this regard, but, hey, there's no disadvantage either.

1)
The site must be as usable in nongraphical environments as it is in the best and lates browsers by Netscape, Microsoft, Opera, and others. Its content and basic functions must be available to any browser or device; its layout should work in any reasonably CSS-savvy browser.

2)
Markup must balidate against the XHTML 1.0 Transitional spec and must avoid presentational elements. We are separating structure from presentation.

3)
CSS must validate and should be as compact and as logically arranged as possible.

4)
To help meet our goal of delivering content and basic functions in almost any conceivable browsing environment, the site should strive to be seamlessly accessible.

5)
The site must deliver a recognizably branded look and feel without squandering visitor or server bandwidth on bloated markup, excessively complex scripts, or needless images. The site must not waste resources, but it must possess style.

Within standard design web site, the DIV and SPAN are used widely.

The W3C, in "The Global Structure of an HTML Document," defines these two elements.

The DIV and SPAN elements, in conjunction with the id and class attributes, offer a generic mechanism for adding structure to documents. These elements define content to be inline (SPAN) or block-level (DIV) but impose no other presentational idioms on the content. Thus, authors may use these elements in conjunction with style sheets, the lang attribute, etc., to tailor HTML to their own needs and tastes.

What is This Thing Called div?
This is as good a place as any to explain that "div" is short for "division."
When you group a bunch of links together, that's one division of a document. Content would be another, the legal disclaimer at the foot of the page would be still another, and so on.

We use XHTML standards for all web page.
It is some thing need to be care for.

Open with the proper DOCTYPE and namespace.
Declare your content type using the META Content element.
Write all element and attribute names in lowercase.
Quote all attribute values.
Assign values to all attributes.
Close all tags.
Close "empty" tags with a space and a slash.
Do not put double dashes inside a comment.
Ensure that less-than and ampersand are <lt; and &amp;.

Sometimes the errors are come from the mistakes above. So when we coding, please look at these parts carefully.

I just bought a Maxtor SATA hard drive from Staples. It is $80. including tax. This is 100GB Diamondmax 10 hard disk.
The only thing I don't like is it is only 1 year warranty. Open the box, there are a SATA interface cable, 4 mounting screws, a MaxBlast CD, a Menu and the hard disk.
I install it on my K8V-X motherboard whose chipset is VIA K8T800 and VIA VT8237. VT8237 supports SATA upto 150MB/second data transfer rate.
It is a brand new install with Win XP.

First of all, enable the SATA support in the BIOS setting.
Advanced >> Onboard Devices Configuration >> OnChip SATA Boot ROM [Enabled].

Secondly, boot from the MaxBlast CD. I chose "New Windows 2000 or XP System", then made a partition about 25GB with NTFS format.

Thirdly, download the VIA driver for SATA. Download file. Unzip it and copy them into a floppy disk.

Now boot the system from my Windows XP installation CD. When prompted to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver. press the F^ key then S when prompted, to specify additional devicces.
