    How to Manually Add AdSense in a WordPress Post

    You can manually add AdSense in a WordPress post above or below the content without any issue. You can simply place the necessary code above, or below, the the_content(); function call. Now if you want to place it within the content, it is a bit more complex.

    Most people would install a plugin that will automatically insert your AdSense code into the content of any post. I have used them in the past, but found that it would break the post readability if the code was inserted into the wrong location. Also, some people wish to reduce the number of plugins that are activated in the blog, so a manual method may be better. Once the code is added manually, you can easily monitor your AdSense coverage.

    How to Recover Deleted Files With Restoration

    It is possible to recover deleted files if you haven’t saved much to the same drive that contains the deleted files. When you delete a file in Windows, it isn’t actually deleted – the data is still stored on the hard drive.

    Since the information stored in the files hasn’t been removed from the hard drive, it may still be possible to retrieve the data from those lost files. This post explains how to use a tool called Restoration to recover deleted files, not only from a hard drive but other storage media such as memory cards as well.

  • Mozy: Try Again Button is Disabled Fix

    Mozy: Try Again Button is Disabled Fix

    I recently ran into an issue where the “Try Again” button in Mozy was disabled, preventing me from backing up my data. I use Mozy for backing up my data because like the fact that I can backup my data online and to an external, portable hard drive automatically, or when I choose. The file backup is handled by the application, so I don’t have to worry about missing any files.

    The problem with the “Try Again” button, however, has been a pain for me as it prevents me from backing up my data. It isn’t always disabled, but at times when I start my desktop, the button is not enabled. While I haven’t found a complete solution to prevent this from happening, the steps outlined in this post allow me to re-enable the button without restarting.

  • How to Fix Keyset Does not Exist in Windows

    How to Fix Keyset Does not Exist in Windows

    I recently received an error message stating that the “Keyset does not exist” for all scheduled tasks on a Windows 2003 server. This error caused the scheduled tasks from not running, and caused some problems with a few applications. This is the first time I had seen the error, and so I wasn’t sure what the problem was.

    While I have experienced Microsoft Word Errors in the past, this was a first for cryptography in Windows 2003. The error caused the inability to view the “Run as” user ID, let alone change it to something else. Because of this, the tasks couldn’t run, so I had to find a solution to fix it. Fortunately, the solution was easy, and only took a few minutes to implement.
