Antispyware's Blocking Drama

Antispywares and Antivirus softwares are said to slow down the computer performance and web browsing. But they also block the browsing totally sometimes: whenever I typed an URL in the address box the Antispyware software installed in the computer informed through a dialogue box with buttons of ALLOW and BLOCK, and a check box that gave option not to show that dialogue box again. If I clicked any of these buttons, everything was frozen leaving only the option of turning off of the computer! A total block in the web browsing was the result. Surprisingly there was a single solution to remove this block: ‘ticking in the check box’ – not to show the dialogue box once again! That’s all. The block was removed!

Blog Posting - Problems after Copying and Pasting the File Contents

For leisurely, quicker and easier posting in blog you shall prepare your post in a document in advance and save it in a file. When you post (paste) this file content in the blog by copying it, there may appear difference in the font size of the post or overcrowding of the letters. Moreover if you change the font size to a desired larger one or smaller one than the copied one there will be invariably derangement of words in the blog post. These nuisances could be avoided first by checking the font size etc. of the document contents and correcting all of them, or by changing to the desired font size in the document itself before copying for posting.

The Block in Blogging Encountered

There was a delay in posting the previous blog-posting dated 16th June 2008 (note it also below this post). The reason behind it is that unusual excess megabytes consumption for a shorter spell of web browsing was there. The ‘sending’ (uploading) consumption was more than the receiving (downloading) consumption although almost nothing was sent up at all in the internet! Inference: some ‘Spyware’ (or a virus) had encroached in internet files, as the computer performance was not affected by it. The main affection and the handicap was that I could not get any search result from Google or Yahoo. And I could not get any website at all. Blogger website could display only its home page. But remarkably I got easily Sify (unusually!) and Verveearth among these blocks! It was like getting only STAR Sports (Cable delivered TV channel) when lightning discharge had damaged the Tuner Box of the television.

These problems were solved only after reinstalling the Operating System once again as usual. I think that my computer and browsing will be spared for another ten months or so, as it was before!

Adding Link URL to a Divided Word Group

You want to add a link URL to a Word Group in your blog post (article). But part of the word group is in the line’s end and the rest in the next line’s starting place. In linking, here you cannot select such a divided group with the mouse insertion point. You can try it yourself! You can solve this problem by selecting the word group's first part and then sliding down the insertion point without releasing the click pressure (that selects the whole of the next line also) and then by moving it towards the left hand side (that deselects the unwanted words) up to the second part of the group. Now you have selected the whole word group and can now proceed to add the link URL!

Another method is also there:

Place the insertion point at the start of the Word Group. Pressing the Shift key select forward with the Right Arrow key each letters one after the other. The selection will be continuous one. The selection will slide down itself from the first part of the word group to its second part in the next line. A quite easier method!

Avoiding the Hardship of Repeating the Emailing Process

An interruption in emailing process is described here. Suppose that you are typing in an email message. At that time you want to go back to another website for referring to its web page and then return back to emailing. How should it be done? First minimize the mail page. Open the website’s page in a separate new tab in the task bar, refer to it and then return back to emailing. If you had opened the same website page earlier, before starting to email, and now have clicked the Back button of the browser and selected the concerned web page or you have opened the web page on the same upper task bar as that of the emailing page, you will see your email message erased when you return back to it! Or you will see the following message in red letters in another new page: ’Your session has expired. Please log in again’! So, avoid wisely the hardship of repeating again all the those steps of emailing.

Addition or Deletion of Email Addresses in Emailing

While you add email addresses in the ‘To:’ section of Mail Box during emailing (eg. Sify Mail),you can simply type in the first letter of the address. You will be now shown all the addresses from the Address Book that start with that letter. You can click and select the one you want and add it to the section in emailing.

In emailing suppose that you have added many email addresses in the ‘To:’ section of the Mail Box. But now you want to remove some of the addresses from them. This is difficult as all the addresses are not shown at the same time and so we cannot locate easily their positions in the list typed. What to do? For that place the insertion point just on any one of the ‘side lines’ of the address box. Now the row of the typed line of email addresses will move slowly in the opposite direction like train compartments. When the email addresses that are to be deleted appear on the box, select each one and delete, one after the other. Caution: here do not play too much with this moving of the email addresses from one side to the other side of the box. It may raise your bill amount!

Submission of Blogs with Precautions

Whenever I submit my blog for adding it to Blog directory websites I encounter problems. On one of such occasions after duly filling in the application form for that, I clicked the Submit button. The directory returned the application form showing ‘errors’ message. I went on resubmitting the application form finding that there are no errors. But the form was returned back. Later after such repeated submissions the actual error was indicated by the directory – ‘Remove http:// in URL’ That is the matter. Remember about this whenever you submit your blogs to the directories.

To cite another instance, I was filling up the application form. There came an instruction to enter in the box the URL of my blog’s home page. I minimized the page, moved out to my blog, copied the URL and returned. When I maximized the directory page I found my already filled-in-form now empty! I was filled with dismay. But with patience I repeated all the entries once again and resubmitted and got added my blog. So, first read the application form fully and get prepared beforehand, before going to fill it.
