How to Hacks

How to Hacks is my "pay it foward" chapter and these pages are for three audiences: webmasters within SBI, webmasters in general, or writers wondering how to do something who are not comfortable with using the computer.

Much of my writing life as an author of websites involves learning to get things done. Sometimes I want to make a video or need to extract information from my websites in order to make sure my site is working well. I could have broken links (which make you, my visitor, frown), or pages that Google has not indexed (either they lost them accidentally, or they didn't like them at all, and I need to find out which ones they are and fix them.

From this "hub page" will be also be tips for writers who are inexperienced with using a computer. Very basic stuff, like word count, copy and paste, putting a hyperlink into the footer of a Word document, and the like.

I am presenting these "hacks" as videos, because whenever I need to find out how to something, that's where I go to find out. Showing is so much easier than telling, as every good writer knows.

If you should like to see a video on some technique, just go to the bottom box (search for the word, "comment," fill it in, and if I know how to do it, I'll try to help.

Beginners Corner

Please don't be offended if some of these presentations are so basic that you are saying, "Duh!" Truth is, these questions came up in "group" and need to be addressed for those poor writers who are suffering from how to get a necessary job done. One very bright gentleman - an excellent writer - told he needed to give an editor a word count, actually sat down with a pencil and counted the words! What a phenomenal tedium! What a waste of his time!

Such suffering must stop!
