			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Mango update attempts to be a savior for the Windows Phone OS by bringing more than 500 new features. The chief amongst these is the ability to multi-task, Twitter and Facebook integration and the availability of new APIs for developers to create more capable applications. The update roll out would normally take 2-3 months before everyone has gotten it, however with the method described below you can get it early. It will work on any phone whether it’s factory unlocked or carrier branded.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6547" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wp-mango.png" alt="wp mango How to force Mango update on Windows Phone 7" width="530" height="218" title="How to force Mango update on Windows Phone 7" /><br />
The prerequisite for the Mango update is that you need the NoDo + security update before you can get Mango. This means you need the 7392 update before you can proceed to get Mango update.</p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure your phone is fully charged. Connect your phone to your PC and start Zune.</li>
<li>Click phone&gt;settings&gt;updates and see if any update is found. If Zune says phone is up to date then move onto the next step. Or if update is found then continue with the update process.</li>
<li>Time for a force update. Timing is crucial here so be careful. Click update button again, and when you do immediately disconnect your PC from the Internet by taking out the Ethernet cable or disabling Wi-Fi. You need to do these 1-2 seconds after you click the update button in Zune. If it says your phone is updated then your timing was off. Keep trying and eventually Zune will tell you an update is available.</li>
<li>If update found, enable Internet and proceed to update. If it’s the pre-Mango update let it install and then do the same disconnect procedure for Mango.</li>
<li>The update procedure is 7008&gt;7390&gt;7392&gt;7403&gt;7720. The last one being the Mango update</li>
<li>After the 7403 update Mango should install on its own.</li>
</ol>
<p>The whole update procedure can take more than 1 hour so make sure you have enough time before you start updating. During update do not disconnect or attempt to use your phone or close Zune. After all updates are completed your phone will restart. You can check the software version by going into settings&gt;about phone. If it says 7720 then you’re running latest version of Mango.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Working from a cafe´might sound to be interesting, but only when you have a seamless connectivity. Yes, I have a fetish for cafe´s with free WiFi. <img src='http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt="icon biggrin Reliance Broadband+ and Tata Photon+ on Mac OS X via ZTE modem   It works!" class='wp-smiley' title="Reliance Broadband+ and Tata Photon+ on Mac OS X via ZTE modem   It works!" /> </p>
<p>However, that&#8217;s not always possible. In the past several years, I have tried using Reliance NetConnect+ and Tata Photon+ on my windows machine. Both worked pretty decent &#8211; depending on areas where I used them. For those who keep asking me which is a better connection, none of them is an excellent service to trust, when it comes to mobility. To each, his own.</p>
<p>That was on Microsoft Windows. However, more than an year ago I <a href="http://www.praval.com/got-a-mac/" target="_blank">switched to mac</a> and realized that these services aren&#8217;t great when it comes to support drivers for the devices on mac. I did manage to get drivers from somewhere on the internet, but always had issues with speeds and connectivity.</p>
<p>Recently, I upgraded my Macbook to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 and realized that the ZTE modem for Reliance Broadband+ doesn&#8217;t work on it, anymore. I spent an entire night looking for a work-around along with a dear friend in Bombay. I failed!</p>
<p>Today, I went on and discovered the problem and hence the solution for everyone who has the latest version of Mac OS and a ZTE modem. Note that this driver update would possibly work with any service provider &#8211; Reliance &amp; Tata, for example.</p>
<p><strong>The problem was the lack of compatibility with the existing drivers to support a 64 bit machine upgraded to Mac Lion OS X on a ZTE modem</strong>. Either it would fail to detect or force eject it the moment one would fire the dialer app.</p>
<p>The Reliance support page has a link to download the ZTE driver, but it doesn&#8217;t work. The ZTE website is a difficult terrain to play in. However, I did manage to get a direct link to half a dozen driver files. After several rounds of installing and trying out the options, I could get one solution that works flawlessly. Sharing it with everyone else.</p>
<p><strong>How do I install and use the ZTE modem?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/modem-cdma-evdo-smart-zte-ac-2726.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6318" title="ZTE-Reliance-NetConnect-Broadband-TataPhotonPlus" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/modem-cdma-evdo-smart-zte-ac-2726-300x222.jpg" alt="modem cdma evdo smart zte ac 2726 300x222 Reliance Broadband+ and Tata Photon+ on Mac OS X via ZTE modem   It works!" width="300" height="222" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Uninstall all previous ZTE drivers on your mac.</li>
<li>Make sure you&#8217;re device is unplugged from the machine.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ztemt.com.cn/ennewzte/uploadimages/1289779164594.zip" target="_blank">Download the updated driver</a> (comes with a dialer) and install it afresh.</li>
<li>Plug in your usb modem and fire the dialer app which shall now be on your desktop.</li>
<li>Go to settings and enter your username and password <em>(leave black for tata photon+ and enter the phone number for reliance as username &amp; password)</em></li>
<li>Connect and go!</li>
</ol>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I saw after I got thru!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6319" title="Reliance NetConnect BroadbandPlus Speet Test" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-Shot-2011-10-24-at-1.33.32-PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2011 10 24 at 1.33.32 PM Reliance Broadband+ and Tata Photon+ on Mac OS X via ZTE modem   It works!" width="300" height="50" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Life is much more easy!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Facebook&#8217;s newest addition to the social networking website &#8216;Facebook Timeline&#8217; has been praised by many critics all over the world. Unfortunately the feature isn&#8217;t available for public but if you want to try it we&#8217;ve got your fix right here. Just follow with us after the break and enjoy!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5700" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/TP5-copy.png" alt="TP5 copy How To: Turn On The All New Facebook Timeline" width="640" title="How To: Turn On The All New Facebook Timeline" /></p>
<ol>
<li>Got to the <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/apps">Facebook Developer Page</a> and enable it for your account. You will be required to log in to your facebook account if you are not logged in.</li>
<li>Once you&#8217;re done with the first step click on the Create New App button and enter details. Whatever you name your app doesn&#8217;t matter as its not going to be showed publicly so no need to spend time thinking of a name just enter whatever comes to your mind. The same goes for the app namespace, once done with this enter the security words and move on.</li>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5696" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/TP-1-copy.png" alt="TP 1 copy How To: Turn On The All New Facebook Timeline" width="640" title="How To: Turn On The All New Facebook Timeline" /></p>
<li>Now you&#8217;ll be greeted by whole new screen, no need to mess with all the shiny things, just click on the Open Graph button on the left(check the picture for reference).</li>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5699" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/TP4-copy.png" alt="TP4 copy How To: Turn On The All New Facebook Timeline" width="640" title="How To: Turn On The All New Facebook Timeline" /></p>
<li>Facebook shall ask you to enter an action and an object for your app. Don&#8217;t get confused as we are always there to fight the bad people and help you. Enter random things in the options, just like you did earlier in the App name and App Namespace areas. We entered People can review gadget through our app that is pretty much random to us and can&#8217;t happen. Once you have entered all the details click on get started.</li>
<li>Once again you will be welcomed by another page with all Martian to many of you but like we said before no need to get frightened as we are always there. You don&#8217;t need to do anything, just scroll to the bottom and click on the big blue block saying &#8216;Save changes and Next&#8217;. You will be required to do so a couple of time more.</li>
<li>You will be taken back to the original Open Graph page, don&#8217;t worry its perfectly normal. Sit back and sip a cup of coffee for the next few minutes and then go back to the homepage of facebook (www.facebook.com). There you&#8217;ll see a large banner on  the top inviting you to use the all new Facebook Timeline (check the picture for reference).</li>
</ol>
<div>Now just click on the Get Now button and you&#8217;ll have the highly praised timeline. By Default your timeline is private but you can change it to public. That is all, now you have the timeline that can also be used for other tricks.</div>
<div>Just in case you are accessing your facebook from another computer/IP address the timeline wouldn&#8217;t be available. To get it on that computer just follow this link but be sure to replace [username] with your own Username :</div>
<div style="text-align: center">http://www.facebook.com/[yourusername]?sk=timeline.</div>
<div>Still got any questions just ask them in the comments area below.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Mobile phone bills can get expensive quickly if you use your phone regularly. Now in the 21st century you can send texts and make calls using your already paid for internet connection at no extra cost, helping you save hundreds through mobile phone bills.</p>
<p>Voice of Internet Protocol (VoIP) allows you to add a second phone line to your life. Whether you need it for business or just want to save on personal bills you can create a second phone number to be used over Wi-Fi and the internet.</p>
<p>You can now even turn a iPod Touch into a phone using VoIP apps. You could keep your monthly mobile phone allowance by using VoIP via 3G or Wi-Fi on your smartphone.</p>
<p>At first this technology was awful to use, calls were choppy and there were delays between each person talking. However this initial technology has been developed and is slowly being perfected. Using some apps it is even comparable to phoning a regualr landline phone.</p>
<p>There are hundreds of VoIP apps available on all the app stores, however below are just a few of the most popular available.</p>
<p>Skype, which many use for video chat, does also have the ability to call phone numbers &#8211; landlines and mobiles. You are also able to conference call for those business people amongst you.Skype offers a good quality service and is available for computers (Windows, Mac OSX and Linux) and smartphones alike. You can also call anyone with a Skype account, be it on an iPhone, BlackBerry or computer, for free.</p>
<p>From $8 a month you can get a Skype number with unlimited calling and texting. Voicemail is an additional $2.10 per month.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5323" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/google-voice-versus-skype3.jpg" alt="google voice versus skype3 How to save money on calls using Wi Fi" width="630" height="236" title="How to save money on calls using Wi Fi" /></p>
<p>Another popular option is Google Voice. Google Voice gives you one phone number which can also be forwarded to multiple other numbers. Google Voice is free to use via computers but currently doesn&#8217;t offer the VoIP service on mobile phones. You can text other phones using Google Voice from your smartphone however, saving you money on texts. Through a computer you can ring any number in the US and Canada for free but international calls cost $0.02 a minute.</p>
<p>VoIP apps are being perfected and new apps are coming out everyday. We will review some more in the future so check back again in the future!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://slimdrivers.en.softonic.com/">SlimDriver</a> is a tool that helps users with management of their system’s drivers. It can scan computers and identify drivers. It is a free tool that locates missing drivers and ensures that the drivers are up to date with the latest updates. It ensures that the latest version of software and installs it. Using the SlimDriver interface, users can download and install drivers manually, one after the other.</p>
<p><object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100" height="100" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WU9BnW8qhn8?version=3" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WU9BnW8qhn8?version=3" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>SlimDrivers works with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. This tool helps drivers to be up to date; and therefore resulting in faster drivers that ensure that the PC works better. This is because newer drivers are more optimized and coexist better with software that is in the PC. Additionally, it can also fix issues like devices that use drivers and issues of hardware causing problems.</p>
<p>Some of the most important features of the tool include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Instant scanning the system for missing or broken drivers</li>
<li>Scheduling of scans to run automatically</li>
<li>Updating drivers after downloading updates</li>
<li>Uninstalling drivers as and when needed</li>
<li>Have backup for drivers</li>
<li>Restoring the system in the event of failure</li>
</ul>
<p>Given the kind of features it has there are things that are effective about this tool and some spoilers as well. The tool’s negative aspects include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lack of satisfactory information on      drivers &#8211; both old and new drivers.</li>
<li>Though the automatic update for drivers      is an important feature, the downside is that most of these updates may      not be relevant to the PC.</li>
<li>Restricts the installation to download      and installing the drivers in a one-by-one basis.</li>
</ul>
<p>Overall this tool can be used effectively to monitor and update the system’s drivers. However, it is a tool that can be improved to fix all that needs to be fixed; also giving it enough room for growth. It is important to note here that this is just the first version and will surely be a tool that will help in making the PC faster and more efficient.</p>

Through Facebook you can find friends, add them to your network and keep in touch, you can network for business purposes, play games, share photos etc. Let’s elaborate and find out what Facebook can do for you and how you can use it effectively.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2159" title="10 Ways to use Facebook Effectively" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/10-Ways-to-use-Facebook-Effectively.jpg" alt="10 Ways to use Facebook Effectively 10 Ways to use Facebook Effectively" width="550" height="326" /></p>
<p><strong>1. </strong><strong>Open a Facebook account:</strong> This is the first step to using Facebook. On the homepage, enter your full name, email ID and password. Ensure your password has both numbers and letters. Once you signup, you will receive a verification mail in the inbox of your email ID used to sign up on Facebook. Click on the verification link to get connected to Facebook.</p>
<p><strong>2. </strong><strong>Your profile information:</strong> Click on ‘edit profile’ tab to add / update data about yourself. You can reveal / show only your birth date and month info and not the year, a click on a check box will help you with this. Enter the basic details like your country, hometown, languages you know, education, work place, etc and ensure you click on ‘save’ after you add data in each section.</p>
<p><strong>3. </strong><strong>Upload pictures:</strong> One of the first pictures you may want to upload is your profile picture. Click on ‘Upload profile picture’ and browse to select your picture from your desktop / folder and click ‘OK’ to see the picture being displayed. You can add more photos by selecting the ‘photo’ icon on the applications toolbar, click on ‘create a photo album’ and add an album name and set privacy settings before you browse and add more photos to the album. You can choose groups of friends whom you want to share or hide the photos from in the privacy settings.</p>
<p><strong>4. </strong><strong>Search for friends to add:</strong> To search for a college-mate or co-worker, click on ‘friend finder’ tab and enter the name of your friend to search them. Alternatively, you can click on ‘Find friends’ tab on the right hand pane, using this page, you can find friends from your company, college or school that will be listed. Photos and names of people you may know will appear below and you can directly go to their Facebook page and add them as your friend by sending them the request. Once they accept and confirm the two of you will be connected as friends on Facebook.</p>
<p><strong>5. </strong><strong>Messages (private and public):</strong> At the top right hand corner is a tab that says ‘send message’, click on that and type a subject and your message to your friend which only he / she can view and respond. This is similar to e-mail message which is personal. However, to send a message that everyone can see, you can ‘post’ a message on the ‘wall’ of your friend.</p>
<p><strong>6. </strong><strong>Chat on Facebook:</strong> At the right hand bottom corner is a window called ‘chat’. Click on that to expand the window and the friends who are online at that point and available for chat display a green icon next to their names. You can click on your friend’s name and a chat window opens just like any other chat feature.</p>
<p><strong>7. </strong><strong>Upload links and videos:</strong> On your Facebook homepage, you can click on the ‘links’ and ‘videos’ toolbar to share your favourite or liked links and videos with others. Alternatively, if you are watching a video that you like on YouTube or any other website and would like to share it with your Facebook friends look for a Facebook icon in the toolbar below the video and click on that to share the video.</p>
<p><strong>8. </strong><strong>Notes:</strong> Look for the ‘Notes’ tab at the left hand pane on your home page, click on that to find notes written by your friends. It could be useful information, random notes or tips shared. To post your own notes, click the ‘My notes’ tab and then click on ‘+Write a Note’ to write your own note. The privacy settings here will help you choose whom you would like to share the notes with; the ‘Save draft’ option will allow you save your note as a draft until you decide to ‘publish’ it by clicking on the ‘Publish’ tab.</p>
<p><strong>9. </strong><strong>Create a group:</strong> On the left hand pane of your home page, you will find a tab called ‘Create groups’. Click the tab, add a group name and members whom you would like to add to the group. Below you will also find a privacy tab and you can choose from ‘open’, ‘closed’ or ‘secret’. By choosing ‘open’, you confirm that the group can be visible to others along with the posts from the group. Also anybody can choose to join the group. ‘Closed’ option will restrict the conversations only to the members of the group. Here the members can be seen by others. By choosing ‘secret’ tab, the members and the content exchanged are secretive.</p>
<p><strong>10. </strong><strong>Profile privacy:</strong> Click ‘account’ and select ‘privacy settings’ to set your privacy settings. Click on ‘Customize settings ‘ to adjust your privacy options such that your posts, pictures, etc can be viewed only by ‘Everyone’, ‘Friends of Friends’, ‘Friends only’ and ‘Customize’. The Customize option allows you to hide the posts or picture albums from any group or people of your choice. Do not forget to ‘save settings’ once you have set your settings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>With the advent of VoIP technology, long distance calls have gotten cheaper. It has created a revolution and has become the most accessible option for communication. With its fast growing popularity many of web users are still unaware of how VoIP works, but it becomes more important to equip yourselves with the know-how of making calls using VoIP and what its benefits are. So here is information on how you can use VoIP and benefits of it!</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/voip.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1908" title="voip" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/voip.gif" alt="voip How To Use VoIP" width="550" height="412" /></a></p>
<p><strong>VoIP is:</strong></p>
<p>VoIP is an acronym for Voice-over-Internet-Protocol. It is a technology that transmits analog audio signals from telephones and converts them to digital signals so that the computers can understand them and transmit them over the Internet.</p>
<p>Depending on the kind of technology,<strong> </strong>the following equipments may be required:</p>
<ul>
<li>High speed internet connection (DSL or cable modem)</li>
<li>Computer</li>
<li>Telephone</li>
<li>Adapter</li>
<li>Speakers (if not in-built in the computer)</li>
<li>Microphone (if not in-built in the computer)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<p>VoIP can be used in one of the following ways:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>ATA      (Analog Telephone Adapter): </strong>Use analog phone or home phone to connect      to the adapter. The adapter is required to convert analog signals to      digital signals that can be transmitted using the internet. To connect the      home phone to the adaptor, remove the cable from the wall that is plugged      into the home phone and plug it to the socket in the adapter.</li>
<li><strong>IP      Phones: </strong>IP phones look very similar to home phones, but have a RJ-45      jack that is for Ethernet connection. Here too (like the ATA) the cable must      be plugged to the router.  IP Phones      do not require the adapter, it only needs the software and hardware      suitable for the VoIP calls in the phone.</li>
<li><strong>Computer-to-computer: </strong>Download the required software from the internet; connect microphone      and speakers, and a sound card. The receivers of the call should also have      the same service downloaded and active. It is one of the easiest and      cheapest ways to use VoIP to make calls because the software is free,      costs include internet rental and usage charges.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Benefits of using VoIP:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Your expenses involved for making calls are substantially low.</li>
<li>You can give up your home phone and use broadband, and reduce phone expenses.</li>
<li>With wireless &#8216;Wi-Fi phones&#8217; you can make and take calls at anytime, anyplace.</li>
<li>There are no &#8216;roaming&#8217; charges.</li>
<li>You can make conference calls and speak to multiple users.</li>
<li>Some VoIP providers have extra features like voicemail in the form of e-mails, call forwards, blocking unwanted callers, and so on.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Some drawbacks of using VoIP:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Power connection must be continuous and stable.</li>
<li>VoIP cannot be used without a high speed internet connection.</li>
<li>Slow internet connectivity cause disturbances and delays in communication.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Select a VoIP service provider:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Know what your needs are. Depending on what kind of calls you want to make (like computer-to-computer, computer to a mobile, computer to a landline, etc.) can help you zero in on your needs.</li>
<li>Identify any additional charges like activation fees, installation charges, recurring deposits, validity periods, trial packs etc. Before you decide on a service provider.</li>
<li>Identify free and chargeable services providers.</li>
<li>Be sure to read the contract terms and conditions too.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Many times designers face a very common problem in maintaining the crisp look and feel throughout the website, and if designer is a newbie and when he/she surf across the web and found slick magazine themes website and wondered a first question raised in his mind about how to achieve this? Our research says if not all but many of them are build on CSS Framework.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1778" title="blueprint-framework" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/blueprint-framework.gif" alt="blueprint framework How CSS Framework improves user interface of web products" width="540" height="294" /></p>
<h3><span id="more-1768"></span>Why you should go for it?</h3>
<div style="background:#333; -moz-border-radius:5px; color:#fff; padding:5px 10px; font-style:italic;">
&#8220;CSS Framework provides a grid system which helps designer to achieve same look and fell.Now someone says that if u choose table structure and achieve the same, at first it seems an easy task but you have to remember one thing that you are in new age media era, where SEO plays an important role in success of any project, is something which really needs more attention.And if you are not worried about SEO, still there are layouts you simply can’t do with just HTML tables without a great deal of painful effort – and lots of nesting that’s hard to decipher, should ever have to make changes.&#8221;</div>
<p>Apart from that it helps you to cut down on your development time.It gives you a solid foundation to build your project on top of, with an easy-to-use grid, sensible typography, useful plugins, and even a stylesheet for printing.<br />
Suppose you are going to make a website and start writing HTML and CSS code for it and if you need to take care of typography which is very essential part of your project, maintaining margin and padding throughout the website, and one of the most critical part cross browser compatibility.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1779" title="960 grid framework" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/960-grid-framework.gif" alt="960 grid framework How CSS Framework improves user interface of web products" width="538" height="332" /></p>
<h3>Advantages of using it:</h3>
<p><strong>What I really feels which improves our work a lot:</strong></p>
<p>1. Uniformity and consistency in HTML element placement, thereby reducing CSS coding errors.<br />
2. A CSS reset that eliminates the discrepancies across browsers.<br />
3. A solid grid that can support the most complex of layouts.<br />
4. Typography based on expert principles that predate the web.<br />
5. Visual design cohesion between page elements.<br />
6. Mostly eliminates the need to use nested HTML tables.<br />
7. Reduced effort for producing slicker web page layouts, compared to coding the necessary CSS from scratch.<br />
8. Tools, editors, and templates for every step in your workflow.<br />
9. Cross Browser support, which is just a pain for every designer (though it brings best out of you).<br />
10. They comes with documentation which helps you in getting started with it.</p>
<h3>Though there are some disadvantages such as:</h3>
<p>1.Redundant Code: CSS files contains lot of extra code which you never need, only if you are over concerned about each and every extra bit of your page, otherwise it doesn&#8217;t effect your site performance.<br />
2.Lack of Freedom: Though every framework has it&#8217;s own structure, it leaves you to do things around that but this is some thing which brings best out of you.<br />
3.Fixing someone&#8217;s else bug: Another painful thing, you have to fix someone&#8217;s else bug, as you can easily fix those bug if whole code is written by you from scratch.</p>
<div id="attachment_1780" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 540px">
	<img class="size-full wp-image-1780" title="YAML framework" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/YAML-framework.gif" alt="YAML framework How CSS Framework improves user interface of web products" width="540" height="344" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">YAML</p>
</div>
<p><em>&#8220;As you can see there are plenty of valid arguments either way. It really comes down to your personal workflow and preference. Let us know what you think of CSS frameworks and which ones you use.&#8221;</em><br />
Personally I suggest <a href="http://www.blueprintcss.org/">Blueprint Framework</a> as it is easy to deploy and helps you in learning basic CSS errors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Have you ever tried to book a flight online in one of the many websites and wondered why there is so much clutter in the site? Have you wondered if there is a better way to find a flight? Have you hoped that there would be an easier, user friendly interface that cuts out the fluff and gives you the flight information that you require?</p>
<p>If you have answered yes to any of the questions then look no further. Hipmuck, the cool Web Application is not only a clutter free application, but also is the easiest option available on the net to locate flights faster and easier!</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hipmunk-screenshot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1731" title="hipmunk screenshot" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hipmunk-screenshot.jpg" alt="hipmunk screenshot Hipmunk   Cool Web App to Locate Flights Faster and Easier" width="550" height="310" /></a></p>
<p>Regardless of whether you are a frequent or occasional flier, searching for affordable flights and comparing them, or looking for specific providers (like Air India, Kingfisher, Jet Airways, and so on) – all this can be done easily with Hipmunk.</p>
<p><strong>How does Hipmunk work?</strong></p>
<p>To find a flight, all you need to do is provide the application with the details of the departure airport and the arrival airport, the date of travel, and specify the number of people travelling. Additionally, you can provide the application with your preference in airlines (if you like).</p>
<p>Based on the details provided by you, Hipmunk searches multiple airlines, flight dates, and departure times and displays them all on a chart – arranged in order of cost. You can also sort flights based on the number of stops, departure and arrival time, duration, and &#8220;agony”. Agony, as the word indicates, is a combination that shows you options of an overall bad flying experience taking into consideration factors like stops, price, and duration.</p>
<p>Hipmunk sorts flights and based on the updated search options without having to reload the page or refresh all of the information you&#8217;ve provided. This ensures that the search is quicker and takes less time for reload. You can even filter the results by travel time or red-eye (hide or show).</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hipmunk.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1732" title="hipmunk" src="http://cdn.techprone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/hipmunk.jpg" alt="hipmunk Hipmunk   Cool Web App to Locate Flights Faster and Easier" width="550" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>The search results are also colour-coded by airline. This means, if you do have a preference for particular airlines but did not want to filter your search results, you can see your favourite airlines clearly. Clicking on the flight name provides detail about the specific flight, the duration of the flight, and if there are any layovers or transfers involved.</p>
<p>If you see a flight that would suite your travel plans, you can click on it to select the flight to proceed towards booking.</p>
<p>Hipmunk’s bookings are handled entirely by Orbitz. So, after selecting the flight, Hipmunk hands off the service and selection to Orbitz. In Orbitz, you can provide your frequent-flyer numbers and other discount codes that may be applicable to your booking.</p>
<p>On the whole, if you are looking for a simple, safe, clutter-free, user-friendly option to book flight tickets for your next travel – Hipmunk is one of the best sites that helps you do it with ease.</p>
<p>If you have travel on your mind, try Hipmunk, and be surprised!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>WordPress is most commonly use blogging platform that it used beyond the limit of blogs to the extend of CMS. Many highly traffic sites and e-commerce site use wordpress as in back end. Many times we need to monitor the server load and SQL queries running in wordpress in order to maintain the smoothness of websites. We know that poor and damaged performance is due to poorly designed database or SQL queries (for example, when the table does not have indices that the query can use or when the query uses unnecessary performance killers such as ORDER BY/GROUP BY).</p>
