Rod writes: I have always been nervous at using Thunderbird as I don't know if you can revert back if you don't like it. I have a gmail account, a business account off my website accessed by Microsoft Outlook and a GMX account which I have to sign into each time on their website. Can all these be aggregated onto Thunderbird? Rod, Thunderbird is an e-mail client program similar to Outlook Express or Microsoft Mail. You can choose to stop using it at any time and switch to another e-mail client or choose to use no e-mail client at all. When you set it up, you can have it access multiple accounts if you choose. This article explains how to set Thunderbird up with Gmail and tell you where to download the program for free. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

What Kids (And Adults) Need To Know About Facebook As a former technology teacher, I was responsible for teaching kids about the responsible use of technology. Even though I was teaching at the elementary level, I found out that many of the students had Facebook accounts, even though Facebook states in its policy that it does not allow accounts for anyone under the age of 13. Why is this a policy? A law called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) has strict rules for the use of the Internet in regards to kids under the age of 13. It prohibits the collection and saving of personal information for the child's safety. Some parents don't listen to this rule and help their kids break the rule. Probably more often, kids go ahead and sign up without parental permission or knowledge. These kids, even teens over 13, (and maybe even some adults!) need to realize a lot of things about Facebook and online safety in general that they may not understand or realize. First and most important is that anything... Go to WorldStart for more of this helpful tip! For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter.
Giphy I spend far too much time on Tumblr. And while I should work on cutting back on that, it has made me wonder where people manage to find such awesome GIFs (animated photographs usually). So I went on a search and found this awesome site. Once I knew where some of the awesome GIFs were coming from I thought I'd share it with all of you. When you arrive at the site there will be an array of featured GIFs that you can check out. You can also navigate by using the brightly colored menu at the top of the page. The menu offers you most prominently a search engine where you can search tags to find GIFS, and then the following buttons: Reaction GIFs, Categories, GIF Artists, Hot 100, and Favorites. The Categories tab contains: actions, adjectives, animals, anime, art & design, cartoons & comics, celebrities, decades, emotions, fashion & beauty, food & drink, gaming, holidays, interests, memes, movies, music, nature, new & politics, reactions, science, sports, transportation, and tv. When you find a GIF you like or would like to see larger, click it and you'll be whisked away to its page. Once there you can share the GIF via link, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Embed, and Favorite. In order to Favorite them, you have to log in with Facebook. Another cool feature is GIPHY TV which allows you to watch a continuous stream of GIFs fullscreen on your computer. Great for when you are really bored. ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com
