How to use PuTTY for SSH and how to set up Pageant to launch when my PC starts, with the relevant keys pre-loaded…

Solarized Light is much nicer for me to use than the default PuTTY color scheme.

Combined with a couple of other changes, it gives me a nice layout in PuTTY.

PuTTY stores its settings in the Windows Registry.  So, to apply Solarized Light to a session:

1. Back up your registry settings using Regedit’s export utility.
2. Create a PuTTY session in the usual way, and save it.
3. Place the below in a text file with a .reg file extension.
4. Replace FOO%20BAR on line 3 with the PuTTY session name (spaces are %20).
5. Double-click the .reg file to launch the Registry Editor, which loads the values.

In HTML and XML documents a language tag is used to indicate the language of content. But language tags can be used much more widely than that. One problem I have found when trying to build language tags is that there can appear to be multiple different language tags for a given context. So how do you choose the right ones for your needs?

I wanted to create a Blogger page containing a list of all the posts in this blog. I was not able to find a pre-built widget to do this.
