What the heck is CSS?Cascading Style Sheets, better known as CSS allows web designers to add styles and other formatting to web pages by creating classes or modifying existing HTML tags.OK, well then, what the heck does that mean?Well, to really understand CSS it is important to understand at least the very most basic elements of HTML. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the basic

Unless you've spent the last 20 years under rock you've probably heard of HTML. However, in less your extremely tech-savvy or a web developer you may not have any idea what it is or what it does.I'm here to fix all that… HTML is an acronym that stands for hypertext markup language. HTML is not really a programming language. All it does is format text. It accomplishes this by using special

It is of little known fact that I am writing a book. The book is titled What Every Website Owner Should Know —Tips Tricks And Secrets To Success Online. I have recently sent the book off to my editor. I think that this book is unique because it is written for people like small business owners, office managers, or people that are self employed. Essentially anybody that needs or wants a website,

Such a simple question… I wish the answer was that simple. There are many things that you can do to bring visitors to your site. The obvious thing most REALTORS® think of first is business cards and other print-type marketing. While this is a good way to meet people, when was the last time somebody told you about their site and you actually sat down at the computer and visited it? Rarely at best?

Viruses and Spyware are actually two different forms of “Malware”. Although, they are both similar, they are different types of threats and need to be handled differently. It is of the utmost importance that you install both anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer. Fortunately, some of the best Anti-virus programs are free!

The word processor/Office productivity suite war for dominance and control of the marketplace has been over for a long time with Microsoft Office the clear winner.

"Why can't I open it? " So you have recieved an important file or document in your email and no matter what you do, it just won't open. Worse yet, it is a Word document, or PDF and you have Word.

Ok, I have avoided Exhange for years now. However, it was recently thrust upon me. There was no escaping this time. I spent some time configuring it during the installation of Small Business Server. I didn't think much of it as I was going through...The long and the short of it is this, SBS sets exchange to default every time the user logs in. This is problematic when you have all of your clients

I have been recently installing a brand new SBS domain. It is a 20 workstation environment. The workstations were on a hodgepodge of a network that included 3 different workgroups and an old defunct domain. Some clients were on each of the different segments.To make a long story short, I noticed several of the machines were returning an error that stated the profile I was attempting to migrate
