How good is your Google?

You probably Google every day but are you using the advanced features to get the most out of your search results? Here’s an easy way to get started down the path to better Google results. It’s given in the spirit of teaching you how to fish, rather than giving you the fish.

Run the following search on Google: file: pdf google cheat sheet

The “File:” command with the PDF file type will return results for Google Cheat Sheet PDF files. One of these is bound to be a good review of how to use the Advanced Search commands.

If you don’t find something of interest you could just go to:

OR

but that’s like just giving you a fish.

Website Speed Tester

Here’s a handy tool to test the speed and optimization of your website. Try this free website speed test to improve website performance. Enter a URL to calculate page size, composition, and download time. The script calculates the size of individual elements and sums up each type of web page component. Based on these page characteristics the script then offers advice on how to improve page load time. The script incorporates best practices from HCI research and website optimization techniques into its recommendations. The site is hosted by Andrew B. King who wrote the book on site optimization: “Speed Up Your Site: Web Site Optimization” (Out of Print.) He also offers a “Tweak of the Week” and that seems to be up-to-date.

I tested the CYBERCity site and the results showed good results with areas we could improve.

Blogging From Word 2007

One interesting feature of Word 2007 is the ability to create and post your blog in Word rather than opening the web based edit site.

Choose “Blog Post” instead of “New Page” option from the New Document Menu.

If you haven’t established a link to your Blog Word will Wizard you through the process.

Something I like about this method is that it is very easy to cut & paste images and text using this method.

Let’s publish this post and see if it works!
