If you created a new Windows 7 library, but can't see it in the Library list, it may be hidden.
Try this:
from Windows Explorer Menu, click Tools, Folder Options, View Tab, check "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".
Why would Windows 7 provide the ability to add a new library folder, then hide it by default? Even if I choose to hide system folders and files, I certainly don't want to hide a library I just created.
To add insult to injury, use a comma before the "and" in a list. Although this video suggests that depends on if you are following the Chicago Manual of Style or the Associated Press Guide. But I'm firmly in the "no comma" school.

Image corrupt or truncated: , Firefox 4
Image corrupt or truncated: <unknown>, Firefox 4
This fellow got it right. It's the favicon, need to get the link in the heading and the .ico file in the right spot.

Performance: HP Desktop Disk and Memory Usage
Still difficulties with Windows 7, HP Pavilion Desktop--timeouts on all browsers, Windows file renames often send the darn thing into paralysis.
What's up with that? Some lines of investigation:
From Start, Control Panel, Review your computer's status, View performance information. Got a lowest score of 3.6 for graphics memory. Maybe the two huge screens are hindering performance?
Also from the Chrome Wench, Tools, Task Manger (shows active pages and Plugins), click "Stats for Nerds" to see memory usage for the other browsers too. How does it know what's outside of itself? Hmmm...
....so of course, need to download more utilities

WinDirStat (why do I keep thinking ManBearPig?) is a great filesize visualizer.

Adobe Business Catalyst Notes and Tips
In context editing not working for a section? Could be a few things; this last one is that it does not like "float" on a "p" tag.
Can't get rid of an editable section? This page Identifying the default editable regions in InContext Editing describes the process of BC walking through the site on import looking for editable regions. Not good: it took silly examples, like the site's logo (which was clearly defined as "logo".) Only way I could see to remove the incontext editing sections was to redefine their container from a div to a p or remove the div container althogether.
Update: Doesn't always work..... Inexplicably spans and p tags still insist on being editable although the page above says these tags are never directly editable.
Can't "Put" a template in Dreamweaver? Must activate the Business Catalyst module. This would be an obvious point, except that the site's CSS files can be updated without having this live. Can also seem to get all files. But the DreamWeaver Put for a site Template doesn't work without Window -> Business Catalyst.

Downloading the file set via FTP brings down the Templates folder files as .html while on the remote server the Templates folder holds dwt files. Why? Dunno. But don't take files down w/FileZilla--use DW Get for the whole shabang.
I Got the Google Plusone Button Blues
Just wasted a couple of hours on this. Doesn't show on the two serious pages I tried it on (perhaps because they already contain complex javascript), viewed from my local drive on any browser or on a non-local server.
But a super simple test file with only the script and the button, shows up on Safari when viewed directly from my local drive, but not in Chrome, Firefox, or IE9. When viewed from a test server, it shows up fine.
Apparently, I'm not the only one. Not quite ready for prime time I think.
Dreamweaver adds blank lines to code esp. JS
Always bugged me that after opening a file in another editor, for me typically Notepad++, sections of the code were double and triple spaced.
Sometimes just opening in Design mode would cause the problem next time. Since I don't often use Design Mode, I changed Preferences -> File Types / Editors -> "Open in code view:" to include .html as the first line. Seemed to help with a quick open and close of DW test.
