As a web developer the life is not that much easy.The daily quirks of various browsers makes the life too difficult.Above all ,we need to maintain the web standards and compatibility in the browsers at the same time.

Another Issue ,after all,how many browsers I should keep on my system.For me,I like to keep at least the following-IE,Fire Fox,Safari,Opera,Netscape,and Flock.IE has always been an inspiration for my life(:D ,Without ,IE I would never know,what’s the harshness of life and the bitter realities of life).

Ok,Let us leave that and go ahead.Have you ever wondered ,how to test the website/design you have recently coded into the browsers which are not on your system.I don’t know about you but I have been wondering for this.

Some times,Checking in Different Versions of same software (Like testing on Fire Fox 2.x and 3.x on same system) is quiet difficult.

So here is a website which provides the option to test your websites online.The only one restriction is ,It must be hosted some where on the web.

For the last two days,I was just wondering.I tried to install wordpress 2.6 and 2.6.1 both my add on domain with no luck.I have my hosting with BlueHost.com,The addon site was http://TheTurningBrain.com, and my main domain was http://BloggingVibe.com.I uploaded wordpress 2.6(later 2.6.1 too) to the TheTurningBrain.com folder,and tried to access the installation screen by typing in the url bar http://TheTurningBrain.com after one or 2 second,Instead of getting the installation screen,I was getting redirected to my main domain BloggingVibe.com. I tried it more than once(Let me mention here,I don’t use auto script installer,provided by the web host).

one time,twice,thrice,I just got wondered,Is there a problem with redirection mechanism.I deleted the files(wordpress files and folders) from TheTurningBrain.com folder and now,I was able to view the http://TheTurningBrain.com .I was not getting redirected now.So I again uploaded and tried but again the same result.I contacted the technical support person of bluehost.This guy called Anthony,Just annoyed me with his bloody naive answers.I was looking for the technical details and he was saying he is not a wordpress support and so.Anyway,I made my mind to change my hosting and re host at hostgator.I was planning that but also looking for other alternatives like DreamHost and yellowPages.

Suddenly,After two days,I don’t know what happened,Just for my curiosity I uploaded wordpress2.5.1 to my add on domain folder and tried to install.1.2.3. ….here is the famous five minute installation screen.OMG,I just found,It was a problem with wordpress 2.6.x which was not allowing me to install it on my add on domain.ahh..sorry bluehost guys for bothering you with the problem.

So what,Do I have to remain with the older version of wordpress?

No,not at all.I installed wordpress 2.5.1 successfully on my add on domain.After that I just downloaded worpress Auto Upgrade plugin and upgraded the site to wordpress2.6.1.Yes, It’s working and I have got a work around.
