Tips N’ Trix — Living the web
If you’re here then you live the web. Here are a few tips that can make your web experience easier and more enjoyable. You’ll need some set time perhaps, but the investment is worth it.
* The most important in my book is Easy access to google. If you don’t have a search field in your browser, you should be able to add it. Go to Tools or Preferences. Better still is a Toolbar bookmark to advanced search. Advanced searching is generally more effective. In Google it’s easy to use. With Google close by, you can get rid of a lot of those bookmarks in folders you never can find.
* Abbreviations and acronyms getting you down? Google them.
* Tabbed Browsing is available in just about all browsers (We’ll I don’t know about Internet Explorer). Firefox is considered best browser for PCs and Macs. Instead of having many windows open in your browser and then many other programs opened, you use Tabs to open multipe web pages in one browser window.
Information Overload?
* RSS Feeds bring the most recent content on blogs, newspaper, websites, professional journals, even email newsletters and listservs directly to you. I access my my personalized feeds with Bloglines. It’s my homepage on my work and home computers. Most browsers have an RSS feed function. I prefer a web based version because I can access from any computer as long as I have my log-in and password.
* Speaking of logins and passwords, by now you either have a system down or have given up entirely. Another reason for using Firefox is that it not only remembers your passwords, you can set a Master Password on the browser. Once you login to the browser, you’re set, if you’ve asked FF to remember your individual logins.
