Update Those Pages

Do you pretty much visit the same Web sites all the time? Or, maybe there's a site you visited a long time ago and you'd like to go back. Either way, you're going to want to see the most updated version of those sites, right? Of course! Who wouldn't? Well, as long as you have a particular site stored in your system, you can use this next tip. Let's check it out!

To ensure you always get the most recently updated Web sites, you just have to change a quick setting in your Web browser of choice. If you use Internet Explorer, open it up and go to Tools, Internet Options. Once you're in there, look for the Temporary Internet Files section and click on the Settings button. A new box will appear and at the top, there is a section that says "Check for newer versions of stored pages:." That's where you can choose which way you would like to go. In this case, the most practical would be "Every visit to the page." With that option checked, IE will check for the newest version of the site every time you visit.

If you use Firefox, this feature is used through the bookmarks you have and you can read more about that right here. Either way you go, you now know how to get the most updated information from the Web sites you love to visit. It just doesn't get any better than that!

Capturing Flowers on Camera

I want to start by saying you don't have to be a professional photographer to capture great pictures of flowers. I mean, you could be taking pictures at a botanical garden or of a red rose from your own garden and your pictures can turn out just as good. But, of course, there are some basic guidelines viagra canadian you should keep in mind when taking pictures of flowers, so let's check them out!

Get in the Right Light

It's been said that it's best to wait for a bright mid-day sun before you start taking pictures of flowers. But, in all actuality, that's one of the worst times, because the powerful sunlight can wash out your image and create harsh shadows. Instead, it's advised to take pictures when it’s overcast or in the morning or evening when the sun isn’t so bright. Doing that will result in more saturated colors in the blooms of the flowers.

Choose a Focus

You must be sure to have a focal point. Whether it's a cluster of brightly colored flowers or just one blossom, be sure you pay close attention to everything in your frame. It's also good to keep an eye on distractions or items that are unattractive in the foreground or background. If you encounter something like that, it's best to move into another focal position.

Keep It Steady

A potentially stunning flower picture can be ruined by something as simple as human nature, such as a shaky hand. Even if you think your hand is steady, you might be surprised with your results. It's best to keep your options open by carrying a tripod around with you. That will eliminate the shaky hand syndrome and your pictures will turn out even better!

Get on the Right Level

When you're photographing flowers, it's advised to move around and not just stand in one place. You should try getting down onto the same level with the flower, stand above it or even shoot underneath it. It's also good to play around with the distances of how close or far away you are from the flower.

Add a Little Spice

It's best not to just shoot the flowers, but also look for some unique ways to capture the flowers. You could try framing the flower with something natural in the environment, such as dangling vines. Sometimes insects on flowers make for an interesting picture as well.

Spring is here and the flowers are blooming, so get outside and take some of your own great flower photos!

Shifty Highlighting

What's the first thing you need to do to format, move or copy text?

Highlight it, of course!

Which, as we all know, is easy enough to do with the mouse, but for those of you who truly prefer the keyboard, it can be a pain.

That is, until now!

The whole secret behind highlighting with the keyboard is the Shift key.

The Shift key?

Yep, it's all in the Shift.

Here's a list of key combinations that address all of your highlighting needs:

  • Shift + left or right arrow viagra canada online will highlight one letter.

  • Shift + Ctrl + left or right arrow will highlight one word.

  • Shift + up or down arrow will highlight one line of text.

  • Shift + Ctrl + up or down arrow will highlight one paragraph at a time, starting from the cursor's current location.

  • In MS Excel: Shift + arrow will highlight one cell at a time or, if used in a combination, blocks of cells.

  • Shift + Home will highlight from the cursor to the beginning of the line.

  • Shift + Ctrl + Home will highlight from the cursor to the top of the document.

  • Shift + End will highlight from the cursor to the end of the line.

  • Shift + Ctrl + End will highlight from the cursor to the end of the document.

  • Shift + Page Up or Page Down will highlight one screen.

Well, there you have it! I know that's quite a list to learn, so I'll let you get right to it. Enjoy!
