Firefox 3 Update It's been a few days since I've told you anything about Firefox 3, so I figured I'd give you a quick update today! I know a lot of you are avid Firefox users, so I'm sure you're anxious to hear all about what's been going on with it in the last week or so. As I'm sure you know, the Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) was released on May 16, 2008 and it is currently available for download. The Mozilla company released it to the public in order to get feedback on it and if you helped out with that, you're very much appreciated! Since Mozilla has been getting so much good feedback for the RC1, they're saying the final version should be released sometime in June 2008. (I'll wait here while you do your happy dance!) Mozilla vice president Mike Schroepfer said more than 1.5 million people downloaded the Firefox 3 RC1 and they're now just working on going through all of the feedback they have received. He said they're also in the stage of letting the add ons update so that they'll be all ready for the final release. Along with that though, Schroepfer said more release candidates are possible, especially since Firefox 2 had three. "We're in better shape this time, but there's no reason to rush this," he said. All in all, it sounds like the Mozilla team is working very hard to get Firefox 3 up and running and really, either way you look at it, you're going to be enjoying a brand new Firefox Web browser in no time at all. I don't know about you, but that makes me want to smile all day long! ~ Erin Here's a happy, happy Friday to you all!

YES! YOU Can Build Your Own Website! Amazing New Software Makes It EASY! Finally - Create Your Own Personal Or Business Website! No Programming Required - If You Can Use A Word Processor, You Can Do This! Oh, this is just FANTASTIC!! I'm so excited - we've just found an amazing program that lets anyone and everyone create their own website! It's super easy to use and no web programming knowledge is necessary at all! If you can use a word processor, you can use our newest program - WebEasy 6! We've had version 4 and 5 and they were good, but this version 6 really takes it up to the next level! WOW! We're talking everything you need in order to create an amazing, professional-looking website! You'll be online with your own personal or business site in no time! First off, I want to stress you don't need ANY background in HTML, JAVA, or web programming - if you can use a word processor you can do this! It includes a whopping 120 pre-made, professional-looking templates! You're bound to find several that are just perfect for your needs, and if you don't they are easy enough to modify! It's amazing how well done this is! 
As for the type of sites this can do, well - your imagination is really the limit! You can make a simple personal site to show off your family photos, you can build an information site about your favorite subject, you can create an online business complete with shopping cart, you can put together a "group" site complete with calendars, news, schedules, whatever! Pretty much anything you can think of, this can do - and probably already has a killer template ready to go! Oh, and using it is sooooo simple - all the tools are really easy to understand, so it's simple to add graphics, photos, text, flash animations, etc. Oh, get this - it includes an amazing 85,000 different photos, clipart, buttons, borders, animations, music, sound effect and more! Talk about having a custom site huh! WOW!!! 
What if you don't want to use templates at all? What if you're a more of a "from scratch" kind of designer? Well, once you see how easy it is to create a site from scratch, you may decide to go it alone! The tools are so easy to use - most of it is a matter of drag and drop! So, start from scratch, or use a template - either way the site you create is going to blow people away! OK, all that's great, but what do you do after it's built? Well, you can host your website though the publisher (a 1 click operation - now that's handy), upload to any number of free sites available online, or go for a high-quality paid hosting service of your choice. Easy! Once you're up and running, how do you let everyone know you're there? HA! This has you covered there too! This includes tools to help you optimize your site for a high rank in the search engines - and it helps you to submit your site to all the major search engines! It does it all! Now, most web site software is really expensive - GoLive and Dreamweaver both retail for $400 and MS Frontpage / Expressions is still expensive at $100! Why pay that much when this does pretty much the same thing? Your cost? Get this - just $14.97 ($50 retail) and US shipping is FREE! Is that amazing or what? It's a fantastic deal on some of the easiest, most powerful web creation software on the market - give it a try - you'll love it too! http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=4365 PS - Please note that this was a limited quantity deal, so once these are gone, we're not sure when or if we'll be able to get more! Stuff has been sellin' like crazy lately, so get to the site early to get in on this one!
Special Note - These just keep selling and selling, so we've left them on sale yet another day. By next week, you can bet they are back to their normal price, but for today, you can still get an amazing deal! HURRY!! Real Power On The Road! Just Plug In! Turn Your Car's Lighter Into A 120V Household Plug! Really! WOW - You gotta check out these AWESOME 75 Watt Power Inverter! What the heck is a "power inverter" you ask? Basically, a power inverter is a device that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter and converts the 12V DC power supply into 110/120V AC power supply. In short, this unit gives you a household AC plug that you can use in your car! Basically, you can use this great little gadget to power all kinds of devices. Everyone I've talked to has come up with several uses for it (then promptly bought one :-) Think about the possibilities - you could use this for charging laptops, DVD players, small TVs, video game consoles, and cell phones! This power inverter is a valuable accessory for both long and short trips alike. Heck, it would even be handy for recharging batteries (been there, done that - camera, iPod, MP3, etc.) - I can't think of anything you wouldn't be able to use with this! I've had an inverter for several years, I can't imagine hitting the road without one! I've been on several cross country trips in over the last year and this is one accessory that's always plugged into my cigarette lighter! I use it constantly! Your price on this today is incredible - just $10.97 and US shipping is FREE! Power inverters are normally on the expensive side - most go for $50-$90, so this is an outstanding buy. http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=4106 The price will increase to $15.97! 
Q:
Can you please explain what hot swappable means? A:
Excellent question! I don't think anyone has ever asked this before, so I'm very glad you brought it up. I'm guessing a few of you have heard of the term "hot swappable" before, but I'm willing to bet not many of you know what it means. To be honest, I didn't even really know what it meant until I did a little research for this tip. I mean, I had heard of it before, but I guess I didn't know what all it entailed. But now I do and I'm going to share all the information with you. So, come along with me as we learn all about this brand new term! In this day and age, it's very important for computers and other electronic devices to be as user friendly as possible and with that, more and more devices are being made with hot swappable capabilities. Basically, a hot swappable device is one that can be added or removed from a computer without having to reboot. USB devices are probably the most well known for being hot swappable, but there are several others as well. Let's take a USB flash drive as an example. Most flash drives already have all the software they need built right in to them, so when you plug a flash drive into one of your USB ports, your computer is able to automatically recognize it as new hardware. In addition, you're able to start working with the flash drive right away, without having to download any software or drivers. All in all, if a device is able to begin functioning immediately after you plug it into your computer, it is considered to be hot swappable. Like I said earlier, there are several hot swappable items on the market today. There are flash drives, printers, digital cameras, scanners, Webcams, microphones and many, many more. The hot swappable functionality is beneficial in that it allows you to work much faster without interruptions and with ease. I mean, if you had to restart your computer every time you wanted to use a new device, you'd be wasting a lot of time and you'd probably become very frustrated. I know I would! You can also use most hot swappable devices on other computers. For instance, if you have more than one computer in your home, you can use your flash drive on both PCs without any trouble. All hot swappable devices work exactly the same in that no matter which computer you use, they will always work for you automatically. And if you really think about it, that saves you some money as well, because you don't have to go out and buy new hardware for every computer you use. Many businesses use hot swappable items as well. So, if you're looking to buy a new flash drive or printer, etc., check it to make sure it is hot swappable. If you buy all of your hardware that way, you will save yourself a lot of time, money and frustration. And that just makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter?

The Page Setup Express When using MS Word, do you like the display to include the rulers (View menu, Rulers choice or in Word 2007, they're found on the View ribbon, Show/Hide section?) I know I do, because it really helps me to see them as I work. The convenience of tab stops and margins constantly displayed in such a small space is something I just can't do without. Well, as it turns out, the rulers you're used to looking at were hiding a secret! Yep, they're your quick ticket to the Page Setup window. No menus, no key combinations to remember, just a quick double click and you're right there in the Page Setup window! I'm completely serious! Even in Word 2007, that's all there is to it. A double click on one of the rulers will instantly pop open the Page Setup window. It's as fast as having an actual button designated to take you there. One more thing: you do need to remember that a single click on the bottom half of the horizontal ruler will insert a tab stop. To avoid tab stops you don't really want to create (due to slow double clicking), either use the top half of the horizontal ruler, the unused portions beyond the horizontal ruler or the vertical ruler for this tip. Other than that, this double click trick seems to be an express train straight to the Page Setup! ~ April

Scrub Up Your Vista Did you know that metadata within your files can tell a lot about you? For example, your digital camera records data about when a picture was taken and what camera was used. Your documents and spreadsheets contain details about who created them and your music files are tagged with artist and album information. And the list can go on and on. So, with all of that information widely known on your computer, it's wise to clean them up a bit every once in awhile. That's right, it's time to give your Windows Vista files a scrub down! To "scrub" a file of unwanted metadata in Vista, simply follow these steps: 1.) Open the file you want to clean in Windows Explorer. 2.) Right click on the file's icon and choose Properties. 
3.) Under the Details tab, click Remove Properties and Personal Information. That will then open the Remove Properties dialogue box: 
At this point, you have two choices. The default option creates a copy of your file (using the original file name with the word "copy" appended to it) and removes all the properties it can change, based on the file type. Or, you can choose the second option, which selectively removes the properties from the file. If you see a checkbox next to a property, you can erase that property's current content. If there's no checkbox, the data is non-removable. Make sure you use common sense when you're making your choice. The second option zeroes out the metadata, but it does nothing with the contents of the file itself. Therefore, the first option may be your best bet. Just take some time to think about all the files you have on your computer and what sort of information they may contain. Then scrub them up as you deem necessary. That's it! ~ Ramachandran Kumaraswami If you enjoy our tips, tell your friends. That's what keeps this newsletter growing.
