If a master page is used as the master of a page in a sub folder, the javascript file must be referenced as following in the master page <script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script> If it is referenced as (without the "/" at the befginning of the path, which indicates the relative path to the root) <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script> All pages in the subfolder will not be able to access this javascript file. This style indicates the relative path to the current page. Stylesheet of master page can be indicated as following <link href="~/Styles/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />     

This is an good article talking about working with alternate style sheet: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/ And as a live demo, the following page uses alternate style sheet.  http://www.alistapart.com/d/slidingdoors/final_tabs.html If opened in Fixfox, you can choose View - > Page Style, and then choose different view style for this document.

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.
