Over the last few weeks, I have been posting some useful technology tips on my social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn). If you are not a member of these sites, don't worry! You won't miss out. I'll be posting them here on my Patch.com blog!
TIP #1:
(This first tip is a general one, but very important to remember!)
Don't forget to look at the entire screen when trying to find what you want. It's easy to lose focus of the 'bigger picture'. Learn to train your eyes to take hold of ALL options!
TIP #2 (Internet):
Have you ever been looking for a specific word or group of words on a webpage, but can't find it amidst the paragraphs of text that fill up your browser's screen? Press and hold the CTRL key (or Command if you're on a Mac) and press the letter F. This will bring up a search box where you can type a particular word to find. The word will show up highlighted within the text on the page. This also works within other programs as well! (see Tip #2 photo above)
TIP #3 (iPhone/iPad):
When typing a website or email address (within Safari or the Mail app), if you want to enter a domain name ending other than ".com", hold your finger down on the ".com" and select the domain name ending you want instead. (see Tip #3 photo above)
Inspirational Tip: Don't be frustrated with making mistakes on the computer. It's the best way to learn!
