Be Careful When Deleting Google Docs

Google Docs has been a great resource for me in organizing my 2 dozen websites, to-do lists, keeping records, etc.  The greatest benefit of Google Docs over other similar programs is that it saves all the information online, which is invaluable considering how many computers I may use in one week.  Using Doc's has allowed me to stream line my efforts in promoting my websites and keep tabs on contacts that I'm utilizing in building content rich sites.  Documenting resource locations, people is a great way to increase efficiency online.

Today I've been adding a list of people that I'm going to be hiring to write articles for a few of my websites.  After completing the .doc I then continue to highlight the box for the article and then move it to a specific folder.  When I'm finished moving my .doc's I then start cleaning up old articles that I had written and are no longer needed, even for arhive purposes.  I select my boxes and then hit the delete button...surprised that articles that I had selected in a previous folder for a different reason were deleted as well.

Google Docs will take action on any and all boxes that you have selected, regardless of whether or not they are on the current viewable page.  Keep this in mind moving documents, deleting documents, or just changing names.  Before leaving a page make sure all your actions are complete and deselect any checked boxes.

Google Sites and Google Friend Connect
So Google has just released one of their better social networking applications and we can't even use it on their official Sites pages?  As of this posting there is no way to integrate Google Friend Connect gadgets on Google Sites pages. I'm working on a few pages that would greatly benefit
Chrome gMail Errors
I'm guilty of giving the latest beta release of Google Chrome a go and I'm glad I did.  However, there is one glaring problem when using the Chrome browser with my daily needs, I get an error message when opening gMail.  Ok, maybe that's not the only problem, but one
Mashable.com
What is mashable.com? To me it appears to be a Social Networking 'themed' blog, used to ploy search engines into crawling their site. Consider it a dumbed down version of Digg, where the goal is to get MySpace users to click on ads and use their second-rate layouts, graphics, and glitters. Wikipedia
Spider Control
Google Webmaster Tools has stepped it up again by offering more features and controls over how Google bots view your site. One of the most noteworthy of options is the ability to control how often your site gets spidered, rather how much bandwidth is used during the indexing process. In addition,
