			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've just been working on a project using Adobe Captivate 4.0.  I did have the Adobe update "for the record", but was still having a lot issues when I started adding the audio for the project.  Yes, it was the audio, which I imagine, due to the size of the files, is what started my nightmare.</p>

<p>My basic problem in Adobe Captivate 4.0 was that it would run correctly on the timeline, but when in preview or publish mode, it would add a longer time to each slide that was specified and they would not advance when they were suppose to (It wasn't really a crash or stall, just a long delay).  This was very frustrating.  I spent some time figuring out a solution.  This is what to do to fix it and also what you probably won't need to do, but you can try depending on your issue.  I couldn't really find any forums or help on this so I thought I'd add it to my blog to help someone in need or (return to it, when I need a reminder!).</p>

<blockquote><p>Because I'm sure you are frustrated now and would like a solution and you do need to finish the project very soon I'm sure, so here's what to try:</p></blockquote>

<p>Adobe Captivate 4.0 builds cache.  I found plenty of articles about cache for Adobe Captivate 5.0 but nothing really on Adobe Captivate 4.0.  So what I finally did was I looked at the file it was creating in Captivate, in the <strong>Preview Mode,</strong> and saw it was pointing to this folder:</p>

<p><strong>C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp\cp4Temp</strong></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p><strong>Close Captivate before doing the next step!</strong></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>I moved all the files and folders from the above directory to a <strong>different folder</strong> in case I needed to restore them...for whatever reason (I was being precautious)...and I called that folder <strong>cp4Temp_old</strong> and left the <strong>cp4Temp folder empty.</strong></p>

<p>Then I re-opened Adobe Captivate 4.0 and the problem was resolved (Totally Fab!!).  Nothing else needed as far as I could tell.</p>

<p>After countless reading and trying to troubleshoot (and because I wasn't going to start over), I learned about needing to DaisyChain, so that was helpful.</p>

<p>Understand that Adobe Captivate 4.0 is known for causing corruption in files.  I knew this but nothing worked to fix my problem.  I had built a very large file...mistake number 1 for me.  Lesson Learned, keep them to about 60 slides and learn how to Daisy Chain files, this link might be helpful. <a href="http://www.gooberguides.com/Mary/DaisyChain.htm" target="_blank">http://www.gooberguides.com/Mary/DaisyChain.htm</a> I did implement this so the problem would not occur again. So far, so good.</p>

<p>I read you might be able to get away with more slides, it just depends on how much content is in on each slide and how large the file size ends up being.</p>

<p>Here are a couple of other things that might help you depending on what your issues are and where you're at in the troubleshooting:</p>

<p>1. Reinstall Captivate 4.0 (probably won't help you, so you might want to try this last!).</p>

<p>2. As I read here, <a href="http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/883/cpsid_88360.html" target="_blank">Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | Captivate 4, 5</a>, I closed Captivate 4.0, then <strong>renamed</strong> the Preferences file captivate_v40.dat to old_captivate_v40.dat in this directory:</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;">C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;">Then opened Captivate 4.0, it recreates Preferences file, captivate_v40.dat but this didn't help me for the issues I was experiencing.</p>

<p>3. Restore a file by following the instructions on what's recommended here: <a href=" http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000319.html" target="_blank">http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000319.html</a> or creating a new file as mentioned, but here are the basic instructions to import slides to an new project:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Create a new blank project with the same dimensions as the original CP file.</li>
	<li> In the clean Adobe Captivate presentation select 'File&gt;Import Slides/Objects from other Captivate projects'.</li>
	<li> Browse to and select the corrupted CP file.</li>
	<li> If no slides show in the importation dialog, then you will not be able to open the project.</li>
	<li> If slides do show in the importation dialog, then click OK.</li>
	<li> Once the slides have imported save your project.</li>
	<li> You should now have an uncorrupted Adobe Captivate project.</li>
</ul>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Note: You will not be able to import quiz slides from one Adobe Captivate project to another.</p>

<blockquote><p>Hope this helps you in some way, good luck to ya!</p></blockquote>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>Introducing Burleson Farms, LLC!</strong></h3>

<p>Burleson Farms' cattle thrive on the lush green grasses and hay grown on their family farm located in Salisbury, NC (Stanly County).  All of the beef they sell is homegrown and raised on their farm.  They raise <strong>natural Angus beef, with no added hormones, no preservatives and no growth enhancing antibiotics. </strong>Burleson Farms’ goal is to raise cattle in a natural environment and to produce a more healthy meat for their customers to enjoy at a price they can afford. They also want to educate their customers about how important it is to buy local and support our local farmers! Their beef is dry aged and they take great care in what they do.</p>

<p>I have truly enjoyed working on this website and have learned a great deal about the differences between <strong>Organic and Natural </strong>products. It has been very educational for me and I share in their passion for eating healthy and supporting local farmers<em> (and web designers like NC Web Designs, Patricia Heffner).</em></p>

<h2 style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><a title="Burleson Farms, LLC" href="http://www.burlesonbeef.com/" target="_blank">http://www.burlesonbeef.com</a></strong></h2>

<p>If you’d like to order some of their delicious natural raised beef, you can learn more about ordering and arrange for delivery just in time for all of your summer cookouts and grilling by going to their website.</p>

<p><strong>Check out their website to order, learn more and start following them on Facebook!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[People ask me why is SEO complicated or what should they do?  There are many experts and opinions.  So what really works?  I read something today that pointed out that you should treat your SEO rankings like an asset rather than a campaign.   An asset is something you keep building on and hope that it will pay dividends in time.   Keep in mind that if it sounds too good to be true, then be leery.<br /><br />

Treat your SEO rankings the same way. If rankings come quickly, great! But it's really worth it to do SEO the right way, even if it takes longer. Organic SEO has many perks!  If you build your rankings with high quality, your site will most likely to be around for the long haul. If you go for the quick wins, get ready for downfalls.  Do shortcuts in anything really pay off?  Typically no.  So why should you do that with your business website and your investment?<br /><br />

I think this is a great way to understand how SEO works.  I always take this in consideration when designing websites.  It has become second nature for me as a web designer to use organic SEO in web design from start to finish.  With most sites I have had success with SEO in getting them top ranked in less than 2-3 months.  Sometimes tweeking is needed, but remember, you often have to do that with an investment.]]></content:encoded>
