Changing Your Default Search Engine in IE8

Posted on August 31st, 2010 by Dave Taylor

On two separate computers, I have tried to change my Search Provider on Internet Explorer 7 by (1) chosing the option on required settings page, (2) right clicking on the search icon to change/add defalt search provider, and (3) using the TEST option. Each time, I get a message at the bottom of the page that says “(!) Error on Page”. Please help. I HATE Bing!

Creating Incoming Mail Filters In Hotmail

Posted on August 18th, 2010 by Dave Taylor

Using Windows Live Hotmail, searching the page for “filter” fails, even though that’s what you suggest on your site (see article: How to create custom email filters in MSN Hotmail). Your suggestion is not correct, do you have an update?

Viewing Message Sources In Windows Live Hotmail

Posted on August 13th, 2010 by Dave Taylor

The latest upgrade in Windows Hotmail has gone ahead and removed the View Message Source from the right-click context menu in the Inbox! I have always found that to be a valuable and critical tool in filtering out /previewing potentially risky e-mails without ever having to actually open them.

Why on earth would MS disarm their Hotmail account users in this day and age in the battle against scams/spams/phishing and all other sorts of nefarious exploits!?!?

Adding A Bing SearchBox To Your Website

Posted on July 15th, 2010 by Dave Taylor

I know that Google is the popular search engine for most folk, but I really think that Microsoft’s Bing system is better and offers up more useful results. To help Bing become more successful, I’d like to have a search box on my site that utilizes the Bing search engine. Is that possible?

How To Unfriend People On FourSquare

Posted on June 28th, 2010 by Dave Taylor

Based on your enthusiasm for Foursquare, I have been getting more into it and am connecting with a variety of different people in my community. Generally it’s good fun and since I only check in when I am in a public setting, I have no worries about privacy with people I don’t know. Except there’s this one guy who uses his checkins to advertise his workshops incessantly and it’s annoying to get those alerts. I want to unfriend him. But how can I do that in Foursquare?

How To Validate Your Website’s HTML

Posted on June 15th, 2010 by Dave Taylor

I searched for HTML CODE FIX and it was all pretty much self-help. Can you recommend a company, SEO I guess, that can just fix HTML code and check to see why two products of mine don’t get submitted to Google. It seems to be not meeting their guidelines. I have over 100 html errors according to htmlvalidator.

How To Create Your Facebook Account

Posted on June 2nd, 2010 by Dave Taylor

I’m ready to finally give in to my many friends who are pushing me to sign up for a new Facebook account, even as I have been reading about Facebook privacy issues. I figure if I don’t put much info on the page in the first place, it won’t be a problem. Can you walk me through the signup process, please?

I read your earlier article about how to change my password on Hotmail (live.com) but when I went to the site, I found that things had changed in the interim so am still baffled about how to find the password update area on Hotmail. Help?

Deleting A Meetup.com Group

Posted on May 4th, 2010 by Dave Taylor

I’ve been running a group on Meetup.com for a while, but have decided to move it over to Facebook because that’s where all my members are anyway. What I’d like to do is delete the Meetup group, but I have heard from more than one person that it’s impossible to accomplish. Not for Dave Taylor, though! Show me how it’s done!
