Understanding the various Blogger page types is important if you plan to edit your own Blogger template. When you know this, then you can display certain HTML elements on specific pages by checking the page type.
In my tutorials I, at times, mention creating conditional statements that check the type of page that is displayed. This is to ensure a particular code statement is executed only for a particular type of page. Let’s look at the different page types.

It is important to find and fix 404 errors that can occur in your Wordpress blog. This allows you to take corrective measures to ensure visitors to your blog are presented with your content and not an error page. Earlier this year I wrote a post that explained how you can remove broken links in your Wordpress blog. The post talked about using a plugin to detect any broken links within the posts on your blog. This plugin proved very useful as it found many links that were no longer valid.
I recently decided I wanted to see if I can detect links that were pointing to my blog, but weren’t valid. Such links would produce a 404 “not found” error on my blog, and may prevent some traffic from reaching a specific destination. To help with detecting 404 errors, I installed a plugin that will notify me when the errors occurred.

I had been having a problem when installing software that consisted of a single MSI file. Whenever I ran a MSI file I continuously received an error on the screen that prevented the application from being installed. I tried it on several installs, and they all produced the same error.

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.
