I recently had an issue with one of my tutorial posts that outlines how to secure a D-Link DI-524 wireless G router. The issue was that the steps I provided didn’t exactly match the options that were available on some DI-524 routers. After a few readers reported this issue, I decided I should look into the cause.
After doing some quick research on that particular router, I learned that there are actually three different revisions of that router. This caused the issue because two of the three revisions had different administrative screens that those I outlined in the post. If you would like to find the revision of your router, then read on.

Someone recently as me a question as to why some files appear in either a blue or green colour when they viewed their files in Window Explorer. They were wondering if there was a problem with those files and what should they do about it.
I assured them that there was no problem with their files, and that it was perfectly normal to see some files in another colour other than black.

There are many times where after you have installed and used a wireless router for some time, you may need to access the administrative settings to make some changes. Sometimes, you may have forgotten to the user ID or password to access those settings.

Blogger was created to provide an easy way for anyone to create a blog within a matter of minutes. You don’t need to know HTML or CSS to write and publish posts on a Blogger blog, since the user inteface, and templates, do it all for you. While you can edit the code, if you wish, for most people it is easier to simply add gadgets and move them around.
With this ease of use comes some restrictions, such as not being able to create pages that execute code. I have managed to provide alternatives to getting around several restrictions, and today I will discuss another alternative – displaying a blog list as a static page. Doing something such as this was asked a little while ago in my comments, and while I provided a quick reply, I decided to provide a more thorough solution.

I have written several tutorials that involve editing a Blogger blog template. They are some of the most popular posts on Technically Easy. While some of the tutorials are not complex, others may require quite a bit of editing to the template.
When someone would like clarification about a particular piece of code, they attempt to paste it into the comments, but unfortunately, the code is removed and empty whitespace is what appears. In this post I will describe how you can easily paste HTML code in your comment, not only on this blog, but probably any blog.
