Compared to other stock agencies, Fotolia (www.fotolia) is rather young but it has gained popularity and good reviews both from contributors and customers.  Like other sites shelling the same type of business, this site is a good place to get images for creative purposes for a lesser cost. Since it was launched, there are almost 12 million photos, vectors and videos available. Fotolia also have 15 regional sites like Japan and Brazil. The site’s lay-out is uncomplicated – simple and clean. With this, the site is easy to navigate and user-friendly with less reported problems when it comes to uploading images and videos.

Collection

As mentioned, Fotolia has a large database. This is good for potential buyers to have more choices in terms of image selection. On the other side, this large number of images means stiff competition. Contributors have to exert extra effort to have their images stick out in the crowd. Image and video collections are also well-organized for easy and fast browsing. Images have specific categories like abstract, business, concept, emotion and architecture. Customers can excpet faster and more concise image selection. Site’s visitors can also check images taken in a specific country.

Contributors

One of the good things about Fotolia is it is open for beginners. As long as you want to have good exposure for your work or hobby, then you are free to set up an account. Photographers, designers and art directors make up of its contributor’s population. Unlike other stock agencies that only offer a public profile, Fotolia’s contributor’s have their own personal site with their “my Fotolia’s site”. This is a good venue for contributor’s to organize their submissions and even their rankings and earnings.

In order to earn money, Fotolia practices commission structuring as well as referral schemes. Like other commission-based agencies, your commission will increase as you sell more images. Same with referral, you earn each time your referral sells an image. One of the issues that contributors raise is how the site changes their policies. Many complain that Fotolia easily changes their guidelines specifically those in related to sales.

Costumers

Fotolia is a royalty –free sock agency which makes it very popular for its potential customers. When you buy an image, you can use it more than once without paying any royalty. This will make this site very cheap and good for small businesses. Customers can buy an image for less than $2. They also have many free images for customers to upload and use for free. This is a fair deal specifically for those who are on limited financial resources. Lastly, Fotolia offers subscription plans that can make one image upload as low as 14 cents.

With more than 2 million accounts and 9 million images and vidos, the future is bright for Fotolia. Cheaper fees make this site a great place to scout for images. Its easy features and over-all structure welcome more artists and designers to join their sturdy family. When looking for other reviews, Fotolia receives both fair and excellent assessments but for now, this site is one of the best stock agencies to choose especially if you are a beginner.

My Hard drive just crashed this week and now I want to have a repository for my code just in case it happens again.

To make Hostgator+SVN to work , you need:

1. SSH access.. SSH is free if you have the business plan (shared)

2. Putty (Windows)

3. TortoiseSVN (SVN Client)

Step1:

Instructions:
Type your domain name and the port as 2222, in the Saved Sessions textbox type: keithics or any name, then click Save. You can see the Name on the text area on the left.
Then click Open.

Step2:

When Putty loads, it will ask for your Username and Password. Please note that when you type your password, you can’t see anything in Putty’s commandline.
Just type your password and press Enter.

Then Create a repository..

Install TortoiseSVN and Click Settings. In the Network Tab, browser for the Putty.exe path.

Step4:

Create a repository by right clicking an empty folder then choose TortoiseSVN->Create Repository Here.

Replace the bold text with your own.
svn+ssh://<HOSTGATOR NAME>@<PUTTY SESSION NAME>/home/<HOSTGATORNAME>/<REPO FOLDER>/

Good Luck and if you have any problems, just put it on the comments!

Problem
INSERT INTO tbl_lang (enname,code,charset,inorder) VALUES (‘asd’,'asd’,'asd’,(SELECT MAX(inorder)+1 from tbl_lang))

Fix:
INSERT INTO tbl_lang (enname,code,charset,inorder) VALUES (‘asd’,'asd’,'asd’,(SELECT MAX(inorder)+1 from tbl_lang as l))

2. Add memory limit to php.ini

ini_set("memory_limit","128M");

3. Debug the output html first before converting to pdf.

4. Load images on the same server and with relative paths. You can’t load images using “http://domain.com”.

5. Use wordwrap with caution.

6. Always add width to your table and first row cells

7. Make sure images are in correct format with correct extension. A BMP file with .jpg extension will trigger an error.

8. Avoid special characters if possible.

If you some trouble with DOMPDF, just comment and maybe I can help you out.
