Site Management
On this page I will list some programs that I use to manage this site. I use WordPress which makes things really easy so the list will be pretty basic. This is the first time I’ve managed a website before and I’m sure there are many useful programs that are not listed here. If you think there’s something that you can add then please let me know on the Contact page.
1) Filezilla
Filezilla is a very easy program to use to transfer files to and from your site through ftp. Many web hosts have their own application for doing such tasks but Filezilla’s interface will be very familiar to most users and is my preference for site file transfers. Your ftp username and password will be saved by Filezilla and you can easily login using the drop down icon next to the Quickconnect button.
2) Mega Manager
Mega Manager is Megaupload’s application for uploading and downloading files. I host all of my files on Megaupload because of my web host’s limited bandwidth (despite it being an unlimited plan) to avoid traffic problems for other sites that also use shared web hosting. Megaupload stores your file indefinitely as long as you are a premium member and you won’t have to worry about file transfer bandwidth.
Currently I am subscribing to Megaupload on a 3-month by 3-month basis but someday I hope to have a lifetime membership account so I won’t have to worry about anymore fees or my files being expired. The best thing about Mega Manager in my opinion is that when you upload a file, it checks to see if there is already another copy of your file on their server. If so the upload will be finished almost instantly and Mega Manager will created a custom link for you to use on your site ^_^
