You’re more likely to retain visitors to your site if the pages load fast . A fast loading site holds attention , so the won’t go clicking around other windows .

Table smart :

In browser table don’t show up on a page until the content with in the tables have been downloaded , making a page seem slow . Avoid nested tables and long vertical tables . Instead , stack tables on the top of each other pages then appear to load faster as each table shown up faster . In this context , its better to place your navigational links horizontally towards the top as the will show up before most of the rest of the page . Keep the most important links at the top and the rest on the left , are keep top-level selection on the top and the subsection on the left .

To make a table stand out on a page , use a border around it rather than a fixed image , that is fixed in size . Nest the table with in a single cell table with a cell padding of one pixel ( or more for thinker border) and a bckground of the color you want for the border .

Some useful tips to secure your windows from unauthorized access and protect your data ,

Encrypting File System :

Windows XP Professional has the Encrypting File System features installed by default .

Turn off guest Account access :

To turn off guest account access , go to Start> control panel , and then double-click on User Accounts . Click the guest accounts and turn off Guest access .

CD media :

Before planning to access data using CD-RWs or CD-Rs, check the hardware for compatibility . Only DVD-ROMs and multi-Read CD-ROM drives can read CD-RWs . Older CD-ROM drives may not be able to read silver CD-Rs

Buffer underrun

If you just brought a super – fast burner , but your copies are unreliable , you may need to check how fast your CD-ROM drive can read data . CD-R and CD-RW drivers have memory buffers to help prevent the interruption of the data stream . If your CD-ROM driver isn’t delivering the data to the CD-recording drive fast enough , it breaks the stream and generates an error called a buffer underrun.
The CD-ROM drive needs to be reading data at least twice as fast as the burner is writing it . For example , a 40X CD-ROM drive may end up reading your files at only 10x . In this case , 6x burner should be set to record at 4x to avoid buffer underruns .

It is recommended that you enable the file/disc caching feature on the device and settings screen to reduce the possibility of buffer underrun

The Right Media

Not all Cd-recordable media are the same . Your result may vary depending upon brand you use .If you notice little pops and clicks in your recordings , find another brand that works better with your burner. Expensive CD-Rs may be more reliable , but it’s not uncommon to find cheaper ones that works just as well .

Also , keep in mind that traditional audio players can’t read CD-RW discs .

Site cloaking allows you to exclude folders and file types in a site from operations such as Get or Put . You can cloak individual folders , but not individual files. To cloak files , you must select a file type , and Dreamweaver cloaks all files of that type . It remember your settings for each site, so you don’t have to make selections each time you work on that site .

For example , if you’re working on a large site and don’t want to upload your multimedia files each day, you can use site cloaking to cloak your multimedia folder, and the system excludes files in that folder from site operations your perform .

You can cloak folder and file types on the remote or local site . Cloaking excludes cloaked folders and
files from the following operations :

* Put, Get , Check In and Check Out

* Reports

* Select newer local and newer remote

* Sitewide operation , such as check and change links and search /replace .

* Synchronize

* Asset panel contents

* Template and Library updating

Dreamweaver excludes cloaking templates and library items from Get and Put operations only . It does not exclude these items from batch operations , because it might cause them to get out of sync with their instances . You can perform an operation on a specific cloaked folder by selecting the item in the ’site’ panel and performing an operation on it . Performing an operation on it . Performing an operation directly on a file or folder overrides cloaking .
