One of my blogs recently received an important award and was rated as “Great” by an editor from a popular site. The exact score was 8.3 and it was based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site Design, and Writing Style. I am quite happy about it as I believe that the award is quite important. Generally speaking, I am happy that that site has been acknowledged by the community, as I put a lot of work in it and I am quite proud of what I achieved. I plan to make that site look even more professional and have high quality content like I always aimed for. I am putting even more work into this site so maybe I will receive some award in the future as well.

WordPress is one of the most popular blog publishing systems in the world and recently a new version came out. While I am not using WordPress for all of my blogs, I am considering starting another blog with the help of WordPress. Let’s take a look at some features that WordPress supports:

• Native tagging support allows you to use tags in addition to categories on your post, if you so choose.
• Update notification lets you know when there is a new release of WordPress or when any of the plugins you use has an update available.
• Pending review feature for multi-author blogs.

Those are just some of the features and they make working in WordPress a pleasure.

It is possible to add new fonts to your Windows XP. It is also possible to remove them easily. If for some reason you want to remove a font that you do not like, you can do it by following a few useful steps. First make sure that you are logged in as admin with administrative rights in your PC.
1. Go to Start menu and then select Run.

2. Type %windir%\fonts in Run box and press Ok to confirm your choice.
3. Now select font or fonts that you wish to remove. By holding Ctrl you can select more than one font. Go to File options and choose option Delete. Here you will be asked if you really want to do it. Respond accordingly.
4. Watch how unwanted fonts disappear from your computer and enjoy.

By knowing how to remove unwanted fonts you will be more willing to experiments with different fonts, which will eventually mean having higher quality fonts on your PC.

Having a secured and locked folder in Windows XP is a great way to protect confidential data. In this article, I wish to show you how this can be done in Windows XP:

• Create the folder where you wish to store important data.
• In the same folder where you created the new folder create the following notepad file, where NewFolderName is the name of your new folder:
ren NewFolderName NewFolderName.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
• Save the notepad file as “loc.bat”
• Create another notepad file:
ren NewFolderName.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} NewFolderName
• Save it as “key.bat”.Clicking on the key.bat file will restore your folder, while clicking on loc.bat will hide it by redirecting to the control panel.

This may not be the easiest way, but you will not need any expensive programs as you can do it for free.

If you plan to work in Excel a lot, I am sure that this advice will be useful to you.

Every one of us does some things for the first time. For many people Excel is a piece of cake, but there are many people who did not have any contact with it yet. To start your Excel (provided of course that you have it installed) click on the Start menu from the bottom left corner of your screen. A menu after that will pop up. Go to Programs and then look for Microsoft Excel. Once you found it, highlight it and click on it once to open it. Now you are in the spreadsheet. I know that the grid might look intimidating in the beginning, but do not worry, you will get used to it soon. I will continue writing posts about Excel, so do not worry.
