Website Links In E-Mail When sending an email in Gmail the other day, I needed to include a link to a website. When I typed it, there was no "hyperlink", or line telling me that it would be an active link. I had to go down to the bottom of the email toolbar, highlight the address, then click on the link button so it showed up as working. I figured there HAD to be an easier way to make the links in Gmail clickable! A quick search showed me there is. You actually do not have to do anything to the address! When you are typing the link, it will not show up as an active link. However, as soon as you send it (or preview it!), it is actually a working link. Made my email sending much easier! ~ Audra Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version It's a Pocket Full of Music! The Easiest Way to Enjoy FM Radio!

Michael from Kissimmee, Florida writes: I want to read the Tech Tips Monthly newsletter, but want to print it out. The problem is, I don't want to print out a repeat of the daily tech info, only the new exclusive stuff. Printing out the whole month's info is too much to print. Michael, you're kind of defeating the idea of an eMagazine here by printing it out. But if you want a hard copy, we'll get you one. Fortunately most PDF readers will allow you to select exactly what you want to print. Here's my Tech Tips Monthly for December opened in a PDF reader. From looking at the table of contents, I know that the new articles are on pages 1 through 13. So I can click on the print icon or select print, depending on the reader I'm using. I can choose to print the entire document, only the page I'm looking at or select a range of pages. Here I've selected pages 1 through 13. I will be able to print off only the articles I want. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

James from Washington, Missouri writes: I frequently pick up used computers from yard sales, flea markets and such. The problem is…the password, of course. Is there a simple, easy and inexpensive way to log on and change the admin password or remove it?

Christmas means snow, the tree, lights, Santa, colorful hangings, mistletoe, boots, and most of all, gifts! Want to shoot every scene that can happen on Christmas Day? This is how: White Balance Be it indoor Christmas or outdoor Christmas, you just can't take chances with the lighting. Set your white balance on studying the sort of light you are shooting in. If you have a camera that shoots in RAW, then you can save the adjustment and editing for later. A photo booth Instead of hiring a photographer or a photo booth for the party, set up one on your own. Have a stall so that you can set up your camera and people can come over to get their picture taken. Set it up on a tripod and have the auto-shot mode on so that people can come and keep clicking their own photos at all times during the party. Make sure you position it in a well-lit place and before a nice background that will show that the picture was taken during Christmas time. Have a red background with Christmas decorations around the edges. Leave Santa hats and tinsel people can wear and pose with. This will be a hit! Check ot WorldStart for more of this great tip!

Polar Bear Shaking Off This image is one of a series where this big 'ole Polar Bear emerged from a snow bank and decided to take a stroll around our Polar Rover. He had already brushed off once, so I really wasn't expecting it when he paused for a moment mid-stride and gave a giant shake! He looked like a big dog just coming out of a bath – a snow bath in this instance! My favorite part…(More) Silent Stargazers (great for mobile devices) Winter in Bryce Canyon, Utah. It's cold. Like 20 degrees below zero, but it felt like more like forty below from an aggressive wind biting at your face.
