Computer Volume, DIY Widow

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 2 comments

I Need More Volume! Well, I have finally become a distant friend of my computer. The computer “allows” me to turn it on, go to Google, search for a tab, have more than one tab displayed at a time, and then flip back and forth from one tab to another at a time. Being a very kind artificial intelligent complicated device, my computer friend has also allowed me to download Dragon and Grammarly. Just in case you do not know what Dragon is, it is a voice to text device that will allow you to speak into it then type what you say. Of course, Dragon will ask you for examples of your...

Read Signs? 101, DIY Widow

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 9 comments

Ut-Oh! Definitely did it this time! My family will never let me live this one down. I guess I could blame it on not having my glasses on but I don’t need them for reading. Of course, the sign was fairly large, at least nine by nine in inches. You know God gave us senses of touching, hearing, tasting, smelling, and seeing. Sometimes we should just use more than one sense at a time. For this “ut-oh”, I chose to use just the sense of hearing and threw in a little seeing what I wanted to see. In other words, I was just blindly following my sense of hearing. Okay...

Capitals, Lowercase, Numbers, and Symbols Goodness gracious, I got an email last night from Twitter Tweet. It seems that they might have had a breach of everyone’s passwords.

We are pretty sure that your password was not compromised but we are asking you to set a new password. Also, if you have any other similar passwords on other accounts, such as Facebook, please...

Website Server 101, DIY Widow

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 0 comments

Who is serving Whom Well now, I googled “Website Server” and “Hosting”. Really? The answer was not exactly what I had envisioned in my mind! Website server has absolutely nothing to do with a person with a little white towel over their arm bringing me breakfast in bed but is a little box out there in the la-la wireless land. This is the way I picture it in my mind. First, you have to find a reliable website server building out there which has an apartment for rent, then you rent that apartment. You will then give them your domain name and they will...

Domain Names 101, DIY Widow

God Help Me Wow, I am actually on a website! Thinking not to bad for a person who had not turned on a computer for ten years. Have I made mistakes? Absolutely! How many mistakes? Actually, I lost count after I ran out of fingers and toes. I should have kept a sheet of paper with a count. The first real bogger-roo is getting a domain name. You might wonder what that is, well I had no idea. It is actually the name you use on your website and one you will get from a site after googling “Get a Domain Name”. After selecting a site, I blindly entered the unknown, definitely in a...
