Change visibility of Facebook update after posting?
May 8th, 2012I sometimes post status updates on Facebook that are constrained to a small circle of friends, then forget and the next few posts I make are also just for them, even though I want it to default to “Public”. My standard approach is to delete and repost the Facebook updates, but if there are any [...]

Check out a Kindle ebook from the public library?
April 2nd, 2012I heard from a neighbor that the local public library now lets you check out books on a Kindle or iPad. Terrific: my dad’s not in very good health and would greatly appreciate being able to browse and download books, and since he reads really fast, even if it’s just a seven-day loan, that’d work [...]
Publish Auto-uploaded iPhone Photos On Google Plus?
March 19th, 2012I haven’t yet figured out how to work with the auto-upload capability of the Google Plus app on my iPhone, but I like the idea that all my photographs are automatically uploaded for me to peruse later. Can you show me how I can actually publish some of them, however? Know what I mean?
How do I delete my Google Search History?
March 6th, 2012I’m kind of freaking out. Apparently as of March 1st, 2012, Google will be tying together all the activity I do across any and all Google properties, and mining all of my old search history, both on Google the search engine and YouTube. Yikes! How can I opt out?

February 21st, 2012I’ve been reading all about Pinterest and while it looks interesting, I have a site dedicated to custom HDR photographic retouching work and I frankly don’t want my imagery showing up on that site, even if the argument is that it’ll produce more traffic for me. My images, my copyright, my site. So can I [...]
How do I change my YouTube account profile picture?
February 6th, 2012I set up my YouTube account years ago and now that I am more serious about producing videos for my cooking classes, I’d really like to update the profile picture to be my company logo. How can I update my profile photo on YouTube, Dave?
How can my Pinterest pins link to specific Web page URLs?
January 25th, 2012Thanks for your earlier tutorial on how to upload images to Pinterest [ see: tutorial on how to upload Pinterest pictures or photos ] but I’m confused because some of my friends seem to be able to add photos and images to their Pinterest boards that actually click through to their sites, but I can’t [...]
Disable Commenting On A WordPress Blog?
January 11th, 2012I’m about to migrate my blog from one server to another and a wordpress guru friend of mine said it’s important that I disable commenting on my blog before I do so. What’s he talking about and how do I turn off comments on my site, then turn them back on?
Pin A Favorite Photo On Pinterest From Another Site?
December 19th, 2011I’m just getting started on the fun site Pinterest and am wondering if you can advise me on the best way to add a photo of my own, rather than just “liking” other photos people have added to the site?
