*Basic simple Internet Skills











 



 
 The first basic simple internet skill is knowing how to purchase the right computer. If you are not a gamer, you do not need an expensive video card. 
  Purchase the fastest computer with the most storage you can afford.
  Laptop owners should purchase a fan that goes under your computer. Computers worst enemy is heat, dust and you.
  Use your laptop no longer than 3 hrs. at a time. Place a laptop in your laundry room so your can wash and surf !
       .......Cleaning....
   Open  your computer every 2-3 months and clean out the dust on the fans and air filters. Do this before you consider taking it to a shop for any repair. I use the canned air.  Also purchase sticks of ram and double yours.They just pop them right into slots.Cost is only $10-$15 each.Most big department stores carry them.
       .......
  Opening tabs:
  When you get on the computer at home page and go to a traffic exchange for instance, you may not want to wait 10 seconds to see a lot of sites you have already viewed. To avoid boredom, look at the tiny square beside the open tab with your page name. Hoover it. Usually a yellow block lights up. Click on it.
     Then go to another traffic exchange or page you want to check out.Bring up the ad page to be surfed. All of your open named tabs just need clicked on to go back to that page.Think of the tabs as pages spread out on a table.
                     
Learning to store favorites
   This basic simple internet skill will help you stay organised and save you time. When you want to put something in your favorites, think of it as a paper to put into a file folder. Click on favorites, then new folder (name it) Then add your page and click on save. I have a folder in favorites for traffic exchanges, safelists, my biz websites, learning skills and  games.
   Inside each page I place the links ,ads, splash-page, tips for using site, and anything helpful.  At business  Communities, I place a "Let's be friends and help each other" to copy/paste when adding friends/connections.                 
Getting Your Picture Up

  Another basic simple internet skill is posting  your picture online using a cellphone, You must set that up with your cell phone provider or have a friend take your picture who has this service.  Wear a colorfull shirt with a plain background and get some outdoor shots too. Choose just one picture to use everywhere.  Send all pictures to your email or your friends..  Copy/paste it into your free picture site that came with your computer.  Newer computers you right click,choose "save picture as" and it goes right to your picture folder for you.   If you have friends on Facebook who have posted your picture,get it to your picture area by also choosing "save picture as".

   Use just one user I.D. everywhere. I used foxybird  foxybird123 and my old user I.D. gramfox777
  This is your birthname on the internet. Use just one or add some numbers to it if someone else already is using it at a site you join. 
     Resize it at http://www.picresize.com  ask for 75% reduction.Rename it Smaller. Then resize it and name the newest one Smallest.Then you can use it anywhere.   Pictures taken with a cell phone are usually large and need resized 4 times to fit most places.
.............................................................................................
           Surfing  long timer sites together
  Look at your safelists. If they have in house surfing with a timer on the sites, you can surf these together by opening new tabs.
  Here are the three Traffic exchanges I surf together. With these two safelists, go to their internal email box (both have timers) .
http://www.marvel-e-mail.com/?m=foxybird   After you get those tabs open, open the third tab for
  http://www.easyhits4u.com/?ref=foxybird   Easy hits tells you how many people are there when you are surfing. It is located just below your log-in.
  This is the #1 traffic exchange because they get 300 new members a week!
  If you are a member of  several safe-lists that send other people's ads to your email,do this.
   Open one tab for each safe-list and surf them all at once. Do not open two from the same safelist, or you may get banned or just loose the points.
.............................................................
      Make the print larger or smaller.
    Make print bigger or smaller by holding down the bottom left hand key ( Ctrl) while moving your mouse wheel back and fourth.
..........................................................
      Learn the basic simple Internet Skill of copy/paste
   You will have to go to Notepad or Word and type anything you want. You will be bluing up from the bottom right of the text you want to copy and paste across the words to the top left.
   Hold down your left side of your mouse, run your blue from the bottom right all the way to the top left.
   Then click on it in the center.Pick copy from the scroll down list.
   Now you have the phrase in your mouse.
   Next drop it by clicking the right side ,then the left of the mouse. This time choose paste. Practice it.
    This takes some practice,do not give up. I had to have my grand-daughter, Brittney help me again!
....................................................................
          Using Notebook
  Another Simple Internet Skill is learning to make good use of your Notebook that came with your computer. 
  First find it by clicking on the bottom start button and reading the links.If you do not see it there, click on "All Programs". Open it.
  Pick "Pin to start menu".  Then write your first page of notes. I started by putting in my different Business Communities. Do one page for each one. First I wrote about Swom.
   Then open the scroll down link on the top left. Pick "save as". The box will come up with the title xx..;, or something like that. Backspace it to get rid of it.   Then I titled my page Swom. Hit save. Now close it.
     Repeat for each Social site posts,notes and links.
    Then I did a page for traffic exchanges,my websites,banner links and so forth.



Boo Boo Waiting to be groomed

 ................Posting Banners

Banners have 2 links to them.
The Landing Page-This is the site you will send your reader to when they click it.

The Image Link.
 This is the colorful Picture link.

Do not allow any space in front of the banner links.
It will not post.
.......................
Some sites want you to post the banner using HTML.
You do not have to know how to create it to use it.
First blue up all that is inside the HTML block.

Then open the "add a gadget" choose Html, then drop it in the box and click "Save Arrangement".

Some of my other blogs have useful information too.
