Among the advantages of laptop computers are the following:

Portability – This is considered as the main advantage (and the reason for being) of laptops. You just need a laptop bag to place your laptop in and you’re already set to go. With lots of laptop bags available in the market right now, you can choose one to use to bring your mobile PC anywhere you want to go (like when traveling, attending classes, having a meeting). Laptops make it easier to work, access emails, share files or surf the internet while you are on the go.
Space – Unlike their bulky desktop counterparts, you don’t need a lot of space to use your laptop.
Power Consumption – Laptops are generally more power-efficient than desktops.
Productivity – Because of its portable nature, you can bring your laptop and work in places where your desktop PC can’t be used. You can work during long commutes, in coffee shops and other similar places and circumstances.

Twitter is a form of social media and an advertising medium as well. As a blogger, it would help you if you can create a profile for your blog/company/business to interact with others and promote your products or services.

Here are ten tips to make the most out of twitter:

Make interesting posts (or in Twitter terms, tweets).
Make it easy for people to follow you by putting a Twitter icon on your web site.
Follow others who have the same interests as you do.
Use shortened URLs so that you can maximize the 140 characters allotted for each tweet.
Retweet tweets that might interest your followers. It’s also a way of communicating with your Twitter friends.
Use direct messages (DMs) to send private messages to others. Don’t broadcast your personal issues on the tweetspace.
Pay attention to Trending Topics because those are the topics that people are interested in at the moment.
Don’t spam people by sending them unsolicited DMs or tweeting the same message over and over. If you would like to tweet about sprinkler systems houston, once is enough – unless people ask you about it.
Don’t follow and unfollow the same people over and over. Think before you hit the button.
Ask for feedback from friends and followers about your blog/product/business. Their answers will be enlightening.

Avoiding Vision Problems for Bloggers

Published on 05/06/12 in Blogging Tips | 0 Comments - Leave a comment!

Do you know that as bloggers, we are prone to Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)?

CVS occurs when there’s a shortening of tear break up time (or in other words, your tears start to dry up). Prolong exposure and looking at the monitor causes your tears to evaporate faster and your eyes to dry up.

CVS can lead to various eye problems like eye strain, dry eyes and vision related headaches. Here are some tips that will help prevent these problems:

Keep your monitor at least 25 inches away from you, tilted a little below eye level.
Use LCD or plasma monitors (as opposed to cathode ray tube monitors) because they are more soothing.
Make sure to set the lighting and brightness of your monitor to a lower glare, depending on your comfort level.
Use an antiglare screen on your monitor.
Take regular visual breaks lasting few minutes, at intervals of 20 minutes when using your computer. You can look away from the screen for about a minute to rest your eyes for a while before going back again to your work.
Blink your eyes several times to prevent them from drying up. Blinking causes tears which will nourish your eyes.

If you feel that you are putting strain on your eyes, be sure to take a break. A clear vision is a great asset. Eyeglasses (even those cheap eyeglasses you can buy at Zenni Optical) can help you see clearly when you already lost your 20/20 vision but if you can help it, try to save your eyes/vision.

Tips for Better Title and Description Tags

Published on 05/05/12 in Blogging Tips | 4 Comments - Leave a comment!

Here are some tips for better title and description tags for your blog posts or pages:

1. Keep your title short but informative.
Google’s character limit including the spaces is just 69 characters so be sure to write a title that would be descriptive of your post and yet include those keywords that users will likely use when looking for the content of that page.

2. Write description tags.
Description tags show up in search engine results as snippets so don’t take this thing for granted because a well written description tag can have a big impact on your search traffic. Don’t go overboard, though, and try to limit them to just between 100 to 156 characters, including spaces.

3. Use keywords.
Be sure that your post contains whatever topic or key word that you mentioned in your title and description tags. When users view the search engine results, these keywords (if that’s what they’re looking for) usually appear in bold letters) and if your have those specific keywords in your post, it is some sort of reassurance that it might really be the post that contains what they are looking for. In addition, Google also compares the words and phrases that you are using in your title and description tags with the content of your post or page to make sure that they really are relevant so don’t place a misleading title to your post.

4. Write with flair but be accurate.
Good title and description tags will most likely entice people to click thru your site when they are viewing the search engine results so give them some oomph. However, be as accurate as possible and don’t try to “trick” people into clicking your link by writing titles and description tags that are inaccurate. For example, if both your title and description tags mention “rolling ladder“, be sure that your post is really about rolling ladders.

7 Identified Threats Against Your Data

Published on 05/04/12 in Uncategorized | 0 Comments - Leave a comment!

This post brought to you by CDW. All opinions are 100% mine.

In this age of information technology, people can easily access information by just a click of a mouse. This ease of information access both has its advantages and disadvantages. Knowledge used for good purposes is a good thing but among the disadvantages are the seven identified threats that I'll mention below:

1) MALWARE MENACE

Malware aims to infiltrate a computer without the owner's consent leading to, capturing of passwords, replacement of vital system executables and control key functions via rootkits and an array of other viruses, worms and Trojan horses (among other things).

2) ATTACKS ON WEB BROWSERS / HOSTILE EMAIL ATTACHMENTS

Web browsers and emails are convenient targets and are the easy way in for thieves into an organization. For example, thieves may use pop-up ads to indicate that a computer is infected with malware and a link to download a program to fix it. Only, instead of fixing it, the "fix" contains an malicious code that does more damage than good. Spam emails containing potentially dangerous links and messages are also an example of this problem.

3) SQL INJECTION ATTACK

SQL injection attacks allow attackers to insert malicious codes into strings that are passed to a SQL server via an SQL injection that corrupts the application layer of a website. This allows the thieves to vandalize pages, steal credit card and other data and manipulated databases.

4) CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT / PC LOCKDOWN

People usually focus on attackers outsde the organization but there is also a internal risk involved like when employees, contract workers, consultants and others gain access to systems that they are not entitled to use or when information is shared with those who are not authorized to view them.

5) PASSWORD ISSUES

Passwords allow users to use and enter into a system – and a compromised password could create lots of potential problems. Passwords should be confidential, strong and hard to guess. In addition, there should be some type of authentication technology that offers the advantage of knowing who's logged into a system.

6) WIRELESS SECURITY

Thieves can gain access to valuable information by hacking into unsecured Wi-Fi connection, gaining access to mobile devices utilizing the wireless connection or capturing data over the air.

7) LOSS OF MOBILE DEVICES

Some organizations allow employees to store data in mobile devices. Unfortunately, researches show that about 10% of notebooks and other mobile devices end up lost or stolen – and over 95% of them are never recovered.

Your Online Reputation

Published on 05/02/12 in Features | 0 Comments - Leave a comment!

Do you ever wonder if there are people talking about you online? Have you ever tried searching for an article about yourself to see what other people think or tell other people in the internet about you?

Though it might sound a little paranoiac, it helps to check your online reputation especially if you (or the company you represent) offer some products and/or services to the public. Bad reputation might hurt your business, turn off potential and current clients and customers and stick like a social stigma that’s hard to remove.

Before, public relations or PR agencies take care of these affairs that make an individual or company look good in the public. Today, companies offer services called “online reputation management” (or ORM) to cater specifically in making people, business or companies look their best in the internet. This is accomplished by controlling the online search results that may adversely influence web searchers opinions (especially when they contain inaccurate, misleading or outdated material).

An example of an ORM is the Reputation.com. They offer both personal and business products. Included in the personal products category are tasks such as finding your data online, stopping sites from selling your data and keep on removing your data from sites that sell it. Business products include improving your Google results and tracking your online reputation.

Do you think that you will be needing an ORM to keep your identity safe or your company’s reputation untainted online?

What’s Your Blogging Vice?

Published on 04/28/12 in Blogging Tips | 0 Comments - Leave a comment!

Vice might be a strong word because in an online dictionary, vice is defined as “an immoral or evil habit or practice.” What I wanted was something less grave – just a practice or anything that you do while blogging?

Blogging can be a mentally exhausting task and some bloggers do some things other than blogging to relax for a while. I know of some who have cigarette breaks (sometimes having Dutch Master), play Facebook games or chat online as some way to relieve themselves from tension or strain.

How about you? What do you do in between blog hopping and writing posts? Care to share?

Still Wanna Learn Guitar

Published on 04/27/12 in Features | 0 Comments - Leave a comment!

Do you know how to play the guitar?

Last week, I blogged about my intention to learn guitar by watching online videos and tutorials. That post elicited a lot of comments (unfortunately, most of them are spam).

There was this comment about a brand of guitar called Gretsch. Their guitars indeed looked great but I am not yet ready to buy a new guitar because the one I have, although not that expensive, still sounds great.

Anyway, thanks for the comments, guys! Sorry I can’t publish them here.
