What is a keyword?

Keywords are also called labels, or tags. A keyword is like an entry in an index: a one or two word phrase relating to the content in your post. Using keywords is a way of organising your material, like having a virtual filing cabinet bursting with posts. Keywords appear at the bottom of blogposts.
In Blogspot keywords are called labels and look like this:

 

In WordPress, a keyword is called a 'tag' and looks like this:




Why add keywords to your posts?

Keywords (labels, tags) help you, your readers and big search engines to search through your blog to find the juicy stuff. It’s worth doing.

How to add keywords to your posts in Blogger

When you're writing your post, you'll see the 'Labels' box on the right-hand side. Type your keywords in here - remember to use commas to separate them, and to type in one or two word keywords rather than whole sentences. You want to include specific details that you've mentioned like 'St James Park' or 'Ceebeebies' in your post, not just general umbrella topics like 'fun' or 'weekends'.
Press 'Done' once you've entered all the keywords you want.
Tip: you can click keywords you've used before just below the text box to use them for your new post too. 

How to tag your posts in WordPress

Once you have finished writing a post, find the ‘Tags’ box below on the right and type in the tags that you want to include for your post.  For instance ‘tags, keywords, labels, Wordpress, Mumsnet Bloggers Network, How-To’. Use commas to separate out keywords.

 
Press ‘Add’ before you press ‘Publish’. Your post will go live with the keywords attached.

NB: If you are adding keywords to previous posts, remember to press ‘Update’ after you’ve added them to make sure they appear on your posts.


Use Google KeyWord to make your keywords more effective

So you're using keywords (tags, labels; call them what you will). Now you need to make sure that those keywords get you places. There's a red carpet in cyberspace and by pushing the right buttons and talking to the right people, you can roll right down it.
First, find the Google Keyword tool. Type in the words that best describe your post: for instance, 'advice, tips and instructions for Mumsnet bloggers'. Or input the web address that your post's at: like www.mumsnet.com/bloggers/how-to-tag .



Then hit 'search'. You'll see a list of keywords that users type into Google, along with an assessment of how many other websites are competing for that term. Find a few terms that have the most hits, and the least amount of competition. THESE are your best bet.
Using the instructions above, add them as labels (tags, keywords) to your posts, and they should open doors to the best SEO around.

ANTIVIRUS USE ON YOUR COMPUTER

These days its practically impossible to find someone who owns a computer who has never used the internet, Memory Cards or a USB Stick; if not all.

The much sharing of data across the web and from one user to another has been propelled magnanimously by things like online storage and friendly portability of Storage media like memory cards, external drives, USB Sticks and other devices.

This mega-sharing bonanza hasn't spared many of us from the devastating effects of data loss and corruption to due an infected flash, hard drive or even online file. This is where use of an antivirus comes in handy.

I have been having many clients come to our premises seeking simple recovery of work on their corrupted flash, memory card or even infected laptop or computer. The solution is quite simple - install, regularly update your antivirus and perform a full-system scan at least daily. Many antiviruses offer free versions like avast, avg, avira etc. These can be downloaded directly from the internet like below for avast:

Run the Web-Installer, perform quick-scan, full system scan and boot-time scan and you are ready to use the computer.

Sometimes the computer may be so infected with viruses, trojans, malware that even installing the antivirus programme won't sort you out.
Another option is to look for other antivirus setups, install, scan and clean the computer thoroughly. If this fails, then you may have to go for re-installation of your Operating System (OS).

Re-installing the OS is a bit technical and if unsure please seek a friend's help or a computer technician.

Note: When re-installing your OS, please have all your data backed up. Even you are sure of the procedure for installation and drive partition; its a wise idea to backup your data to say an external hard drive which can be scanned later for thorough cleaning with your AV program.


All the best!

Starting Browsers in Private Mode

From: http://www.howtogeek.com/137466/how-to-always-start-any-browser-in-private-browsing-mode/

How to Always Start Any Browser in Private Browsing Mode

Private browsing mode doesn’t offer complete privacy, but it does prevent your browser from saving your history, searches, cookies, and other private data between browsing sessions. You can have your browser always start in private-browsing mode if you prefer it.

Most people won’t want to use private-browsing mode permanently. You will have to log into the websites you use each time you open your browser, as your browser won’t save the cookies that keep your login state.

Google Chrome

To activate Google Chrome’s incognito mode by default, you will need to add a command-line option to its shortcut.

First, locate the shortcut you use to launch Google Chrome – either on your desktop, Start menu, or taskbar – and right-click it. Select Properties in the menu that appears.

If you are using using a taskbar shortcut on Windows 7 or 8, you will have to right-click the Google Chrome icon on your taskbar, right-click Google Chrome in the list, and select Properties.

Add -incognito (that’s a space character, a dash, and then the word incognito) to the end of the Target box. Click OK after adding this option.

Google Chrome will now start in incognito mode when you launch it via this shortcut. If you use other shortcuts to launch Google Chrome, you will need to modify them, too.

Mozilla Firefox

Firefox allows you to automatically enable private-browsing mode via its options window. Click the Firefox menu button and select Options to open it.

Click the Privacy icon and select “Never remember history.” Firefox will now use the same settings it uses in private-browsing mode, although it won’t display its normal private-browsing interface.

Internet Explorer

You will need to add a command-line option to your Internet Explorer shortcuts to activate InPrivate Browsing by default.

Locate the shortcut you use to launch Internet Explorer, right-click it, and select Properties. On Windows 7 or 8, right-click the Internet Explorer icon on your taskbar, right-click Internet Explorer, and select Properties.

Add -private to the end of the Target box (that’s a space, one dash, and then the word private). Click OK.

Internet Explorer will now start with InPrivate Browsing enabled when you launch it via this shortcut. If you use other shortcuts to launch Internet Explorer, you will need to modify each one.

Upgrading to Win 8,7 from Vista or XP and Drivers Updates

Win 8,7,Vista,XP and Drivers Updates

Today there are many people trying out new operating systems on their machines by doing DIY - kind of installations because of availability of installation setups and free knowledge on youtube. Some people even try down-grading from a higher OS to a lower one like those who have Win.8 taking it back to Win.7.

Many laptops and some PCs made today and since the advent of Win.7, 8 and now Win.10 have a number of specifications that are different from the generation of Win. Vista and XP in the areas of device driver availability.

Most of the new laptops today are either running on Win.8 or Win.10 today. This is making it increasingly difficult to find device drivers if someone switches from Win.8 or 10 to say Win.XP/Win 7/Vista or if one is up-grading from say Win.XP to mainly Win.7/8/10.

Sometimes you can be lucky and find compatible drivers using common driver pack solutions or ready-made drivers on manufacturers sites.
However for many old-laptops its prudent that one leaves the current operating system intact or simply does a check for availability of device drivers before venturing into up-grading/downgrading their OS.

The easiest way to check for device drivers is by running an automatic search on the laptop/PC manufacturer's website by punching in the device model name into one of the common search engines to return a list of suppliers of device drivers.

The other one is to search manually for the drivers on the available search engines like google, yahoo, bing etc.

NOTE:
Always check the device's OS version whether its 32bit or 64bit type. Go to My Computer icon, right click and select properties.

Then also for specific drivers downloaded from sites different from the manufacturer always specify the device i.e. modem, bluetooth, ethernet, touchpad, audio, Graphics, Chipset, USB, etc

During downloading, the internet connection must be superb because if the link fails before the file is fully downloaded, the installation won't work perfectly.

Installation is done the normal way. Open the downloaded file, run it and follow instructions and you are good to go.
