Mount virtual drive

I have all the files from my website on my computer so that I can edit them whenever I want, and I immediately see the changes. Then I eventually upload to the webhost. I just stumbled across an interesting thing the other day: you can use a leading slash when referring to links (a href="http://ddhr.org/link.html") to point to the root of your host directory. This works great when you have files in different folders and you need to refer to files in the root folder or files based off of the root folder. A problem occurs when you try to do this with files on your own computer. The links with leading slashes then point to the root of your computer (file:///C:/link.html). So here's a solution: mount a virtual drive that contains all the files for your website. There are a few different ways to do this. One is to map a network drive and point it to your own computer and your website folder (ip address or computer namec$website folder). Another way is to use a DOS (yes, like MS-DOS) command called "subst". The problem is that this only works for the current login. When you logoff or reset, the virtual drive goes away. A third way to do this is with a program called MountVD. It's a simple little thing that sets it all up for you, and it can even be set up to mount the drive each time the computer is started. Good deal. And now all your links that point to the root directory actually work. #technology

I rule. I found a way (not on my own) to show your Outlook calendar on a fullscreen webpage, without opening a new window. The code is here. #technology
