Blue Screen During Boot – Loop on Windows XP, Server
So, you have a Windows system that gets a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) during bootup, and you can’t see what it says before it disappears. Not a big deal, except that the system won’t boot into safe mode either, so you can’t do the regular method, using the Windows GUI, to set the system properties settings so that the system does not automatically reboot when the blue screen appears. Yikes! Well, if you want to stop the system from rebooting beforee you can get the STOP: codes, and find out how to fix the problem, here is a really neat way:

Easy Post Editing with WordPress
WordPress provides an easy method with which you can update your posts easily as you view them within your site. It is simply logging into your admin area, then viewing your site as a normal visitor. You can edit articles/posts/pages as you view them.
Here’s how:
Login to your site’s Admin area. This is usually something like “http:///www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin”.
Once logged in you’ll see a link at the top of the admin page that you’re looking at (just following your website name) that says View Site >> . Click It.
Now you’re viewing your website. Simply go view the page that you want to edit. You’ll notice a link below the article that reads Edit or “Edit this entry” or something to that effect.
Just click thet Edit link, and you’re in edit mode. Edit as usual.
