    Starting out in Converting websites to Mobile Phone use.

    As an amateur, I have set up a few small websites over the years, with the use of a now out-dated Dreamweaver 2004MX and some PHP/MYSQL. It would be great to make one or two of the sites "mobile-friendly", and am seeking advice on how to tackle this. In the past I have found text-books on PHP...

    Deleting an unwanted OS Partition.

    It's me again, I'm afraid. I'm having a real go at sorting out my PC. I originally installed XP and Windows7 on separate Partitions of the same disk, as a Dual boot system. I now no longer ever use XP and so have just removed it as an item from the Boot Menu, using EasyBCD. It now boots...

    I think an element of my site used to work, but now doesn't. I have a page in which an email message is constructed from text-data from an MYSQL dbase and includes input from a regular textarea called "comment".
