Widgets
Mar 30th
If you are a webmaster, then you were probably tempted a few times to put some widgets on your site. Widgets can be often useful elements on a website and that is why many people embed them. Nonetheless, some webmasters exaggerated with the number of widgets and they include dozens of various widgets on their sidebar. While it may sound like a lot of fun, it can drastically reduce the loading time of webpages. This might be especially a problem if the site does not have reliable hosting. Before you embed too many elements on your pages, please make sure that they are actually needed and that they will not slow down your site.
Health and Computers
Nov 18th
Some people might be wondering whether it is healthy to sit many hours in front of the computer. If you plan to spending many hours in a row staring at your monitor, then obviously it is not going to be very healthy. Of course, there are some things you can do so that your health will not suffer. First of all, make sure to take breaks on a regular basis. Do something else during your break and consider stretching or exercising. If you feel like your eyes are getting tired, then every few minutes try to look through the window. Focus your eyes on some object far away and this should help with eye strain.
Bookmarks
Nov 16th
Every Internet user that connect to the Internet on a regular basis has probably bookmarked some websites. This way he can access his favorite sites very fast and he will not need to remember the full URL of the site. When it comes to bookmarks, every person will have to decide at some points which sites are worth bookmarking. There are many websites suggesting to bookmark their page, but if you are going to be bookmarking any website that you visit from time to time, then pretty soon your list of bookmarks is going to be a mess. You may want to use folders in your bookmark list, as it will help you keep your list organized. I also suggest that you only bookmark such pages that you really visit on a regular basis. There is no point bookmarking all of the pages on the Web that you might like for one reason or another.
Technology and Games
Oct 12th
There is a very big progress in technology and nobody can deny it. Progress in technology also affects games. Games are evolving and they are becoming more and more complex. Twenty or thirty years ago games very a lot simpler than they are right now. You cannot say the same thing about games these days. Of course, there are some games aimed at very young children and they are quite simple, but there are also very complex games that may take months or even years to master. There are also more and more online games where players can cooperate or compete with real players.
Business Podcasting
Oct 9th
I have heard of many cases of people who got turned on to podcasting. Podcasting for your business can be a great idea not only to promote your company, but also to do something interesting. Imagine how many people drive to work every single day. Many of them are bored to tears not listening to anything while driving. For many people, however, listening to podcasts can be a great way to pass the time. If you do not feel like creating your own podcasts, you can at least listen to some podcasts created by some other business people. I am sure that you will find something useful if you spend some time looking for it.
