Happy New Year!

I hope you had a fantastic (and safe) New Year! I don't know about you, but I'm glad the holidays are finally over. It was fun, but it's good to be back to normal.

Q:
What is an HTML Document?

A:
The short answer is - it's a web page. You see, web pages are nothing more than another type of document. In fact, they're really nothing more than a page of text instructions that your web browser reads.

So what exactly is this HTML?

HTML is short for Hyper Text Markup Language. It's the programming language of web pages (technically, HTML is not a programming language, but it's the best way to explain it).

HTML gives your web browser instructions on how to display the HTML document (web page) you're accessing.

If you would like to take a peek at this HTML stuff, open Internet Explorer and head to your favorite site. From the view menu, select Source or View Source (depending on your version).

Tip of the Day

Column Size Fun

Web Link - http://www.worldstart.com/tips/columnsize.htm

OK, most of us know that you can resize the columns in Windows Explorer. You just grab the little black column separators at the top and drag them to the size you need.

Well, there's actually a better way.

If you double-click in the little space between columns, you'll find that the column automatically resizes itself so it shows the complete name of every item in the column.

Oh, this little trick works with most programs that use columns of information (outlook, excel, etc).

Amanda's Cool Site of the Day

What Video Game character are you?

Take this ten question quiz (It's clean… I promise) and find out what pre-1985 video game character you are. You can choose more than one answer per question which can create some unique end results. I was a Gauntlet Adventurer or Kong. Have fun!
