Preamble Yes, you are correct... this is a tech tip Thursday post on a Friday. Furthermore, if you are having a feeling of deja vu, confirmed on the second count also! This post was part of the ActiveRain site June amnesia incident. 2020 is just full of little surprises for us :) Anyhow, had I been doing things in proper order, I would have posted to my regular site first and then copied here to AR. The last couple of posts, I hadn't been following that order. Thankfully, Google had cached my post and I was able to retrieve it (thank you … (19 comments)

1. Insert a Hyperlink Shortcut Every post we write usually has one or more hyperlinks to other relevant pages. To insert a hyperlink, you first select the text you want to link, then you click the "insert link" button. Did you know there is a shortcut key for this, highlight your text and press Ctrl+K.

I like having three buttons on my mouse. I use the third button all the time! Do you? If you use a Windows PC like me, then you too have three buttons... (unless... how OLD is your computer?) The third button is also known as the "wheel" on your wheel mouse. But it is more than a wheel. Did you know you can click the wheel down as a third button? My favorite use of the middle button (i.e. clicking down on the wheel) is to open a link on a webpage in a new tab. What's cool about having it … (28 comments)
tips: Google - Beyond the Obvious
- 09/05/10 02:24 PM

Alright, everybody knows google for searching but what you might not know is that it has some really great additional features for finding quick answers. For example, did you know that it was a calculator AND that it can do units conversion. Consider this, you have a 60' x 120' property and want to know the acreage. Notice what you can type in below:

Often during the course of the day, I'll do something on the computer where I'll think "that's really cool, there's probably a lot of people that don't know you can do that!" I have a Facebook Page called Craig's Classroom where I often post these tips and you can follow if you are interested.
