Cut it slightly larger than your laptop's dimensions. Add about 2 centimeters (0.75 inches) on each side for extra space. The wood should be around 1.25 centimeters (0.5 inches) thick. Measure the wood after cutting. Adjust, if necessary. Make the holes about 2 centimeters (0.75 inches) apart in a grid pattern on the board. You should be able to fit a pencil through the holes, but not much more.  If you have serious overheating problems, drill the holes closer together. You will also need to buy fans and plug them into each hole. Or, you can simply disassemble something that already has a fan that you don't need.

Q: Getting the pros and cons of a CMS straight from a business owner or marketing manager will get you started on your search. Start making a list of CMS that you are interested in. You may notice that, as of February 2012, WordPress has approximately 32 percent of the CMS market. It is a popular open source CMS; however, you should not choose a CMS just because it is large and popular or small and personal. An Internet search will likely show the following CMS, as well as many others: Drupal, WordPress, Silver-stripe, Magneto, Radiant CMS, iWeb, Concrete5CMS, Frog CMS, CMS Made Simple and Joomla!. If you find an open source CMS and no one in the company is able to give you information on using it, then search for companies that provide support for open source CMS. If you want to use an open source CMS and you have a small or non-existent IT department, you may need to hire a CMS expert to help you install, train and help with technical support. If possible, arrange a meeting where they can show you how their CMS works. If they cannot do this, make sure to ask for sample websites in your industry, then schedule a conference call to talk about the most common CMS company mistakes and weaknesses.  Ask how easily and quickly the CMS can be installed and switched over from your current system. Then, once it is set in place, ask how often it will be updated. This is a 2-part question because updating of a system to provide new features is a good thing; however, extensive website maintenance time is a bad thing, especially for e-commerce sites. Ask how many options there are for customization on the front end. The frontend is the website's appearance when all of the information on the CMS is loaded into the designed template. Many companies need to brand their website specifically, so make sure the CMS either works with your current template, or you have options to customize the template options that the company has. Ask how easily changes can be made on the backend. The backend is where the data is entered, usually by company employees. There is also a balance to strike with the backend of a CMS. For example, each business needs a certain number of changes to be made without having to call for technical support or web developer assistance. However, making too many fields editable by too many people also opens up opportunities for mistakes. Ask how permissions are assigned for CMS changes. Ask about the functionality of the intranet. Most companies need to store data that is accessible to employees, but not published for the public. Make sure your employees can sign in easily to get the information they need. Ask how progressive the vendor is toward developing new features. CMS is constantly changing, as is Internet commerce. The vendor's CMS must be able to support changes, plugins and possibly even customized functions as your business and customers grow and change. Ask about the marketing options for your company. Even if you are not using them now, you should be able to add SEO and social media functions. For example, your URLs should be customizable, and they should lead back to your main website. Ask about tags, keywords, breadcrumb navigation and other features that will help your site list highly on an Internet search.
A: Ask for referrals from other businesses you work with. Start looking for CMS companies online. Go to 5 to 10 websites and contact a vendor-specific representative for more information. Ask your CMS vendor how they can meet the website, database and budget needs you have outlined.

Article: As a general rule, you only want a maximum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) of each potato shoot exposed. Check your shoots daily to see if they are starting to emerge too far out of the soil. Then, simply add more growing medium to the pot. You'll likely need to repeat this process multiple times during the growing cycle. The process is similar to mounding potatoes that were planted in the ground. There is a quick and simple way to determine when/if you need to water. Stick a single finger into the soil. If the soil feels dry, then it is time to water again. Add water to the pot until it begins to drain out the bottom.  If your potatoes do not get enough water, then they will be undersized or more susceptible to diseases and pests. In warmer temperatures, this may mean that you'll need to water your potato pots twice a day. Tailor your watering schedule to the needs of your particular potatoes. Position your potato pots so that they receive direct sun either in the morning or afternoon. While potatoes need the sunlight, they do not do well in temperatures over 80 °F (27 °C). This is why it is important that they get ample shade as well. Your potatoes may be receiving too much sun if the sprouts turn yellow or dry out shortly after shooting out of the dirt. This is the best sign that your potatoes are ready to dig up. You can either sift through the container's dirt by hand or dump it out and dig for the potatoes. Set aside each potato and make sure to wash them carefully before eating or storing. It's also a good idea to inspect each potato for fungus or mold. The outer skin should be firm and uniform in color without any white or mushy spots.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Add more growing medium as the plant shoots up. Water your potatoes when the top 2 inches (5.1 cm) of soil is dry. Expose your potatoes to a maximum of 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. Harvest your potatoes when their foliage turns yellow.

Article: On the back of your LCD TV are holes that correspond to the screw holes on the mounting plate. If there are already screws in the holes, remove them so you can attach the plate. They may also be covered in plastic if you just bought your TV. Fit the screws through the screw holes of the mounting plate and into the corresponding holes on the TV. After you slide the screws through the slots, attach the nuts to the screws and tighten them so the mounting plate is flush against the back of the TV.  The mounting plate will support the TV on the bracket, so make sure the nuts are tight on the screws! Give the mounting plate a good shake to make sure there isn’t any movement. If there is, tighten up the nuts on the screws. Pick up the TV and hold it up to the mounting bracket on the wall. Align the mounting plate on the back of the TV with the slot that the plate will fit into on the bracket. Use another person to help you hold the TV up against the wall. Depending on the mounting plate and bracket that you have, you may need to slide the plate into a slot on the bracket. You may also need to screw the mounting plate to the bracket. Check the manufacturer's instructions to make sure you’re connecting the plate to the bracket correctly. A cord cover is a plastic track that mounts directly to the wall on top of the wires to hide them. Use screws to mount the base to the wall beneath your TV and lay the cords inside of them. Then, snap the plastic cover in place on top of it.  Choose a cord cover color that blends into your wall so it’s less noticeable. You can remove the top of the cover at any time if you need to adjust or add additional wires.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Locate the mounting plate attachment holes on the back of your TV. Attach the mounting plate to your TV. Line up the mounting plate with the bracket on the wall. Connect the mounting plate to the bracket. Conceal the cables with a cord cover. Finished.
