Another very interesting feature is that you can schedule iterasi to save a copy of a web …

Most bloggers start with a small site hosted on a shared server and as most shared servers can’t handle the kind of traffic a good blogger is likely to see, it is generally a good idea to optimise your blog and carefully monitor the response times.
The post covers the use (or minimal use of) images,  avoiding third party scripts, caching and (surprise, surprise …

According to wikipedia, a filesystem is:
is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them.
It is the filesystem which provides us the abstraction of folders, directories and sub-directories that we use to store files on a computer. Infact, it is the filesystem only which lets us store and retrieve any data that we store in a computer.
