The Secret to Opening A .pdf File When You Don’t Have A PDF Reader
Yesterday my friend Janell received some paper work via email from a potential employer. She received 5 documents ending in .pdf.
—>>> 
The computer she was using didn’t have the software (Adobe Readstep Reader) to open the file. Therefore she called me in panicked frenzy…ok not quite a frenzy but it sounded good right?
I gave her two recommendations
Recommendation #1: Download Adobe Readstep Reader. This free software was created by the makers of Abode pdf for opening .pdf files. You can also call it a pdf file reader.
Recomendation #2: Fwd or send the file to your gmail account. WHY? Whenever a .pdf or .doc file is sent to your gmail email account you have the option to view the file in html. This means that it automatically converts the .pdf file to website format. Which makes it easy for you to view - just like a website.
Both Options are free. Get Gmail email or get Adobe Reader

How To Never Loose A Document Due To A PC Crash
My friend Janel had been writing a series of soap operas for a few years but ended up loosing all her work due to a computer crash. J. doesn’t have a flash drive yet so I gave her this nifty suggestion for never loosing a document.
Recommendation #1 - Save your document in google docs. Google docs allows you to upload, create & save documents in your google online account. This way, even if your computer crash you or if you’re half way around the world you will still have access to your files. Google docs even gives you a private email address so my friend J. has the option to email her soap opera series into her google docs account without having to log into her google docs account.

Recommendation #2 - Save your documents in google notepad. Google notepad is more simplistic because it doesn’t give you all the fancy formatting options. But it’s a good way to save quick notes or journals quickly. It also saves while you write so even if you loose your internet connection you won’t loose your document. Signup Free Here
Recommendation #3 - Get a flash drive. Flash Drives have quickly replaced floppy disks because they’re about the size of your thumb and they can hold 100+ times more documents/music/pictures/or anything digital than a floppy disk. Some new computers don’t even have the old floppy drive anymore. Flash drives use the usb port on your computer so you know you can plug it in at any computer knowing that it would work. Yea, they do call it a thumb drive too.

RSS Explained In Steps
I received an email from my friend asking me what the 
button at the right hand corner of my blog was for and I explained to her that clicking that button would allow her to get updates from my blog through an rss reader. That’s when I lost her. So I dug up this video which explains rss in plain english.
RSS means Real Simple Syndication.

Nothing More Wonderful Than Sharing Knowledge
Blogging is an activity which allows you to express yourself at all lengths without being told to shut up by uninterested parties. If one isn’t intrigued by your presentation then they can without shame or remorse click the back button and move on to a more desirable website.
With that said what I intend on presenting here is a chockful of benefits and ideas about having fun and making money on the internet.
Yes, I’m a techy reporter at heart and my mind is exploding with knowledge that i’ve collected over the years. More recently i’ve realised that the knowledge that I’ve taken for granted is knowledge that others simply don’t know exist! I’m going to change that. I love helping people and my hope is that you will see what great escapes you can take advantage of by utilizing the internet.
My name is Maren and I’ll be your guide to Internet Fun & Money.
