How to Add a User to a WordPress Multisite Via Database as an Administrator
A while back we were given permission to host and edit a clients’ website, built on WordPress with Multisite functionality. However, for various reasons we were unable to get in touch with the previous developer who had Admin access to the sites. Since we were hosting their website and database, we at least had that.

Has Google Finally Grown Too Large and Evil? Could Google’s Greed Be the Beginning of the End for Their Mighty Empire?
Note: This is possibly my most controversial, yet gutsy, post as of yet: Google. The very name evokes the word search, and has been used as a substitute in sentences, such as “I Googled this” and “I Googled that.” Nothing can take that away from them – they earned their success for the most part. However, [...]
Get-Simple CMS – A Non-MySQL, XML Data-Based Content Management System (CMS)
I have been using WordPress for building most of my websites and plan to continue doing so. It has become a very robust platform that can do many things.

Curtis/Proscan Products – RJH Solutions Doesn’t Provide Technical Support For Them
Over the last few weeks I have been inundated with phone calls on advice on how to support a Curtis/Proscan tablet that doesn’t work for some reason, based on my website being linked to mine. I want to set the record straight: RJH Solutions does not generally provide technical support on products made or distributed by Curtis/ProScan. Sorry for my bluntness.
RJH Solutions was hired to build the website containing the products – that’s as far as it goes. Since Curtis/Proscan is generally a wholesaler and you likely have gotten it from a 3rd-party chain if you are reading this post, my advice is as follows: If the product broke, you would need to contact either the store where you purchased the item from, or the manufacturer itself.
Proscan 10.1 inch Tablet (Model PLT1044) – Installing Google Play/Android Market
As far as budget tablets go, I found the ProScan PLT1044 10.1″ tablet to be a nice option. Like many reviews have stated, you will not get the “latest and greatest” but it’s indeed a quality budget tablet. Does the job.

Manually install it, of course! However, Google Play isn’t available for this device, but the next-best thing, the Android Market, is. Installing Android Market was a straightforward process. I followed the following steps, courtesy of The Digital Reader:
