After about one year's development, I finally uploaded my website to a web host and make it live. I tested my website for a couple of month and noticed that there are about 2oo pages are cached by google and everything looks OK, then I submit my application for Google Adsense.

Unfortunately I was rejected. The following is the email.

After doing some investigation, I found that I have not validated my website using W3C tools at all. Therefore I tried to validate my website through following links.

W3C Markup Validation Service:
http://validator.w3.org/

W3C CSS Validation Service:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

To my surprise, I found hundreds of errors for my website, both by markup validation and CSS validation. Actually I have tried continuously to test my website using IE6, IE 7 and FireFox 3.o.

I am not sure whether this is the only reason my application was rejected by Google. But I am pretty sure this was one of the reason. Hopefully my application will get approved after I fix all the problems.

Javascript Hosted on Google Drive Not Working Reliably

Here is the story. I have been using Google Drive to host the javascript files and stylesheet files all the time. It works perfectly, until a few days ago when I noticed that if the web page contains javascript files hosted at Google Drive, it can not be viewed properly from the Facebook built in web browser.  I did some further investigation. The same thing happened when the page is opened in Wechat built in browser.  However, the page works fine when it is opened in most browsers, like IE, Chrome, Firefox. It took me several hours to figure why. And So far I have not find out the reason. I checked the mime type of the files. They are correctly recognized by Google Drive. But the solution is: moving the files out of Google Drive. Now it works perfectly, in browser and in App built in web browsers as well.

How to clear MS SQL Server Database log file on GoDaddy

GoDaddy does not allow webmaster to clear the MS SQL Server database log file. And the Database file size is limited to 200 MB. I used to call GoDaddy to truncate the log file. However, it is really time consuming. Using following workflow I can successfully truncate my SQL Server log file. 1. Create a new MS SQL Server DB name it as NDTemplate.  2. Backup this database as an empty database. The backup file is about 1.6MB 3. Backup the original DB that you need to truncate. At my case this backup file is about 200MB. 4. Generate database script for the full database, and execute this sql script against the empty database. 5. Export the data in the Database to the new DB 6. Backup the new DB again and restore it against the original DB. Now the database will have all the data and structure. But the log file is minimized. It will only include the initial insert log.
