This is a must tool for webmasters!

I find it very useful under the following circumstances:-

• When your clients tell you that their site is down (kena before!)
• When your web hosting (technical support) says that there is nothing wrong with your website (kena before!)
• When you have a newly setup website live
• When moving to a new web hosting

Image excerpt from dphoto.com

This website has a very cool online photo gallery. It's free with some restrictions, unless you upgrade it. 

Here's a gallery that I've done in a quickie. No need to worry about resizing. Simply amazing!  

Here's my Wedding Photo Gallery using DPHOTO: http://thengheng.dphoto.com

My Review:
The Free version is definitely useful for a small showcase (100 photos). Although, you can only upload each picture with a maximum photo file size of 3mb.

I found this article at Digg.com today.

#10 – “I have an idea for a website which could by the next eBay and I need a web design partner…”

#09 – “I want you to use this photo. I want it to be in landscape, but changed so that the height is bigger than the width”

#08 – “Black on white is boring. How about hot pink on lime green? And can we make the logo spin? And Ariel is boring, let’s use Comic Sans.”

#07 – “Use these photos, I got them from Google Images”

#06 – “It sucks.”

#05 – “Why is your quote so expensive? My nephew can do [a 5 page website] for £50″

#04 – “I paid for my domain name by credit card. My credit card billing address is in Oxford. So why doesn’t my site come up in Google when I type in ‘Oxford’?”

#03 – “I want to be number one in Google for the term ‘consultant’. My budget is £200.”

#02 – “Just one more small change…”

#01 – “We can’t afford to pay you but we’ll let you have a link back to your site.”

Read the full details here.

My Personal Experience:

Through years of experience,  i've only encountered 3/10 of these nightmare(s).
