<title>Learn HTML Quickly</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Programming/HTML/Learn-HTML-Quickly.320221</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Hello my name is Kevin Hopcraft and I am going to teach you how to make web pages with HTML code. HTML code is really simple and is nothing like programming at all; actually it is the easiest type of code out there. So if you are trying to learn HTML because you would like to be a programmer, HTML is good to start but don't study it for hours, when you are done go to CSS. Anyway, continuing the tutorial for making web pages.</p>
<p>It is best to start HTML by understanding what it means. So I will explain in detail to you exactly what HTML stands for: Hyper Text Markup Language. Why would it stand for this? I have no idea; I am not her to explain that(just to explain it's meaning;D). The code you use for a web page is never in capitals. A simple webpage looks like this:</p>
<p>This is the text that appears on any tabs you create in Firefox or Internet explorer. Also in a search engine this is what appears as the name of you're website.<br /><br />Under body is where you type all you're code that you want to do things and all you're text that you want displayed.</p>
<p>If you save this as an HTML file with notepad (for windows) or text edit (with Mac)<br />With the extension of html, you will get something like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/28/html_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Notice that the text typed in between the  tags show up on the screen yet the title doesn't. This is because the text in the body tags always shows up here. By the way a tag is just a command used in HTML.</p>
<p>Now I'll explain all of the other commands shown. Always when you make an html document you must start it with  otherwise it will not work with all browsers. After the  tag you will have to make a  tag which holds all the &amp;lsquo;invisible' information needed, then there is a  tag which is the title of the page as I have said previously.</p>
<p>Now then you notice a  tag, whenever you make a tag there has to be an end and when you put a / in front of your tag it means that you have ended the code before it.</p>
<p>Make sure you have an end tag for every tag you make. Onward we march, after the  tag you will have a tag which ends the tag. There is then a  tag which has under it, all the info you write to make what you want and all the small tags to make images appear and text to grow bigger or make it different colors and a lot more which I will explain &amp;nbsp;in detail.</p>
<p>You guessed it the next tag is which ends the  tag. Now you make an tag which ends the  tag and you have made a web page. Go down and I'll show you some code to make images appear and align text. First a little review:</p>
<h3>Basic Commands Needed</h3>
<p>This is where you name your page. It will show in a new tab. Under body is where you type all the code and text you want to use for your page and stuff.</p>
<p>All right now then;</p>
<p>Web page with image and links:</p>
<p>Title</p>
<p><img src="name.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.google.ca</a>/"&amp;gt;Google</p>
<p><img src="name.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is the image tag, you always need to have the img and the src part. Src is basically what you put the image in. Img is just there to tell the browser it's an image tag but it's still required. Notice that there is no  tag, that is because this is one of a dozen or so tags that does not require the end tag.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.ca/" target="_blank">Google</a></p>
<p>This is the link tag a means &amp;lsquo;anchor' href is what you always use for the link to the website, in between the "" you will see http://www.google.ca/ well if you wanted to link to a page you made you would have to just put the filename, for example: &amp;lsquo;thing.html'. Once the tag is ended you see Google, well this is where you name the link and it's what the user will see when they open the page. Then you close the tag with a  tag.</p>
<p>Now I am going to show you a few basic commands to layout the page and</p>
<p>make a table. Any other tags you want to learn (and there are lots!!!) you can</p>
<p>search Google for a lot . But I do recommend this website:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com</a></p>
<p>This website is a very good website for learning more html and stuff like that. Continuing: A table command.</p>
<p>
<table border="1">
makes a table with a border of 1 px. If you don't want a border
<p>just take that part away.</p>
<tbody>
<tr>
This starts a new table row
<td>This starts a new table cell
<p>Anything in between these shows up in a table cell!</p>
</td>
This ends the previous cell
</tr>
This ends the previous row     
<tr>
This starts another table row
<td>This starts another table cell
<p>Anything in between these shows up in a table cell!</p>
</td>
This ends that table cell
</tr>
This ends that table row
</tbody>
</table>
This ends the table</p>
<p>What this would end up with is something like this:</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/10/28/gdsg_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>How to make your page aligned nice and neat:</p>
<p>Makes everything in between these two tags align left.</p>
<p>Makes everything in between these two tags align right.</p>
<p>To make things go in the center you use Alright that's the end of this tutorial. Hope you learned how to make a web page. Remember go to www.w3schools.com for more info.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FProgramming%2FHTML%2FLearn-HTML-Quickly.320221"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FProgramming%2FHTML%2FLearn-HTML-Quickly.320221" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Explosion Tutorial</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Software/Photoshop/Explosion-Tutorial.227285</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Hello! In this tutorial you will learn how to make a very simple explosion using Adobe Photoshop&amp;trade;.</p>
<p>To get started, open up Adobe Photoshop, and create a new document. I made mine 500 by 500 pixels, but it really can be any size you want.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_0.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>After your new canvas opens, look at the toolbar on the left, and select the Lasso Tool (or you can just hit the L key, and the lasso will become selected).</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>After you have the Lasso Tool out, draw a very rough circle on the canvas, like this one.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Tip: Don't try to draw a perfect circle, it makes the explosion better when it has a rough base, it would look too perfect.</p>
<p>Next, go to Select, and then Feather (or just press Alt+Ctrl+D).</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>After you press Feather (or use the keyboard shortcut), a dialog box will pop up, asking for the Feather Radius. Type 80 in the textbox, and press OK.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now, a more even circle should appear. Also, keep experimenting with different Radius', who knows, you might find out something cool.</p>
<p>Next, go to Filter, Render, Clouds.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>You should see a big fluffy cloud appear in the middle of the canvas, where the circle was, like this.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Now go to Image, Mode, Indexed Color&amp;hellip;</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>After you clicked Indexed Color, go to Image, Mode, Color Table.<img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>After you click on Color table, click on the dropdown menu and select Black Body, then press OK. This changes all of the colors in the piece, and you are left with something that looks like this. You get something different every time! Experiment with different color tables, different Feather Radii, and different circular figures.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2008/08/24/290157_9.jpg" alt="" /></p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FSoftware%2FPhotoshop%2FExplosion-Tutorial.227285"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FSoftware%2FPhotoshop%2FExplosion-Tutorial.227285" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Speed Up Your Computer</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Computers/Speed-Up-Your-Computer.226445</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Is your computer as fast as you want it to be? Was it faster when you bought it then it is now? If you answered "yes", then you will want to read this guide. It will show you how to get your computer back to its original speed and who doesn't want a fast computer?</p>
<p>So what are we actually going to be doing you may ask? I will be showing you how to turn off some of the unwanted and useless programs that are running on your computer so you will be able to do many more things with your computer.</p>
<p>First, we'll check all of the things that are running on your computer. I bet you don't even know what half of these processes are. Simply hit Ctrl + Alt + Del. Then click on the processes tab. Look at all that junk! You don't even need a quarter of that stuff running on your computer.</p>
<p>Next, i will show you how to shut them down. Click on the "Start" menu and click on "run" or hold the "windows key" and press "R". When the run box appears type in "MSCONFIG" (without the "'s of course). Wait for the window to fully load. Now, go over to the services tab. On the bottom check the check box the "Hide all Microsoft Services". This is because most, if not all, of the Microsoft Services you need to run your computer.</p>
<p>Now you can start un-checking boxes that are not important. Say you have "iPod Service" running and you dont have an iPod anymore, you would uncheck that box. Another example is "PnkBsterA". It is for a game i dont play anymore. Only try to uncheck boxes that have an Unknown Manufacturer. Go thorugh the whole list, using your own judgement, to shut down programs.</p>
<p>After you have completed the "Services" tab, do the same thing with the "StartUp" tab. I would leave a majorty of these programs running but you can shut down a few if you wish. Look for the ones that don't have the "HKLM/Software/Windowns" or "HKCU/Software/Windows" location becuase these are required when to run your operating system.</p>
<p>Finnally, click the "OK" button. The MSCONFIG window will close and another pop-up box will come up. It will ask you to restsart your computer. I recomend doing it imediatly but if you choose to, you can do it later. Now when your computer restarts, look how much faster it is and how little time it takes to boot up. One more thing, follow this guide often because you are always installing new things on your computer. Thanks for reading and Good Luck!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FComputers%2FSpeed-Up-Your-Computer.226445"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FComputers%2FSpeed-Up-Your-Computer.226445" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Five Ways to Get Your Computer the Way You Want It: Tips and Tweaks</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Operating-Systems/Windows/Five-Ways-to-Get-Your-Computer-the-Way-You-Want-It-Tips-and-Tweaks.128231</link>

<![CDATA[<p>I know that aot of people were disappointed with vistas release, people claimed that it was merely XP with a funky skin. So I decided it was about time I could see what Vista could do. I trawled through the depths of Windows Vista and found some pretty fun little things.</p>
 <ol> 
<li>
<h3>Voice recognition&amp;nbsp;</h3>
Voice recognition used to be a separate program that costs &amp;pound;30 (60$) upwards as they are rather complex pieces of programming. Voice recognition can shave hours off work or be used for a little fun. Find it under ease of access on the start menu and start talking to your computer!<br /></li>
 
<li>
<h3>Disable automatic startup programs&amp;nbsp;</h3>
This is the first thing I do whenever I get a new computer. It can save so much time when starting up your computer by closing a few unnecessary programs. Just go into the start menu and type in "msconfig" this will bring up a box. Click the "startup" tab and deselect any undesirable programs. The more you remove the faster your PC gets! (this isn't just a vista tip, it works on all windows operating systems)<br /></li>
 
<li>
<h3>Windows sidebar&amp;nbsp;</h3>
How many of you have had that sidebar sat at the side of the screen without adding anything new to it? Here are some really good widgets that I recommend.<br /></li>
 
<li>
<h3>Save battery&amp;nbsp;</h3>
If you're a laptop user like myself then you'll know how frustrating it is to run out of battery in the middle of something important. This little gadget will help you save those precious minutes of battery by turning off aero whenever your system is low on battery. <br /></li>
 
<li>
<h3>Have a cleanup&amp;nbsp;</h3>
Vista is packed full of maintenance software such as disk defraggers, virus scanners and firewalls. The majority of the can be found on the start menu &amp;gt; accessories &amp;gt; system tools</li>

<link>http://www.computersight.com/Operating-Systems/Windows/Five-Quick-and-Simple-Ways-to-Make-Windows-Boot-in-Under-20-Seconds.96509</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<ol> 
<li>
<h3>Optimize your BIOS</h3>
Press Del or F2 when you turn on your computer (depending on your computer manufacturer) to enter the BIOS. Once inside the BIOS, there are options to change the boot order of your drives. You want to set the hard drive as the first on the list. If you see a "quick boot" feature listed, enable that too. Once you do this, save and exit from the BIOS. Make sure you do not make any unintentional changes or it can cause problems. </li>
 
<li>
<h3>Disable Unnecessary Startup Programs</h3>
Once in Windows, go to start-&amp;gt;run and type in "msconfig". Go to the startup tab and look through the list. This is the list of programs that automatically start everytime Windows loads. Uncheck all the programs you can live without. After you do this, press OK.</li>
 
<li>
<h3>Disable Unnecessary Windows Processes</h3>
Again, go to start-&amp;gt;run and type in "services.msc". Read through the descriptions of each service on the list and right-click and disable the ones you do not need. Recommended programs to disable are Background Intelligent Transfer Serivce, Distributed Link Tracking Client, Error Reporting Service, Fast User Switching Capability, Help and Support, Indexing Service, Messenger, Remote Registry, Security Center, Terminal Services, Windows Time, and WebClient. After you are done, press the X in the upper right corner of the window.</li>
 
<li>
<h3>Rearrange And Defragment Your Boot Files<br /></h3>
Download and install the free <a href="http://www.download.com/TuneXP/3000-2086_4-10290929.html" target="_blank">TuneXP</a>. Under Memory and file system, select defrag boot files and do the ultra-fast booting after it is done.</li>
 
<li>
<h3>Defrag Your Entire Hard Drive<br /></h3>
After you do all of this, defrag your entire hard drive to speed it up. Open up My Computer and right-click C drive and select properties. Go to the Tools tab and press "Defragment Now...". Wait for it to complete.<br /><br /></li>
</ol>
<p>Restart your computer and enjoy your faster boot time</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FWindows%2FFive-Quick-and-Simple-Ways-to-Make-Windows-Boot-in-Under-20-Seconds.96509"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FWindows%2FFive-Quick-and-Simple-Ways-to-Make-Windows-Boot-in-Under-20-Seconds.96509" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>How to Change Your IP</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Operating-Systems/Windows/How-to-Change-Your-IP.39913</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<P><OL><LI> Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen</LI>
 <LI> Click on "Run"</LI>
 <LI> Type in "command" and hit ok.</LI>
 
 You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
 
 <LI> Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"</LI>

 <LI> Type "exit" and leave the prompt</LI>
 <LI> Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.</LI>

 <LI> Click on "properties".
 
 You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.</LI>
 
 <LI> Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"</LI>

 <LI> Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab</LI>

 <LI> Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab</LI>

 <LI> Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).</LI>

 <LI> Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.</LI>

 <LI> Hit the "Ok" button here</LI>

 <LI> Hit the "Ok" button again.
 
You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.</LI>
 
 <LI> Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.</LI>

 <LI> Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings</LI>

 <LI> This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically".</LI>

 <LI> Hit "Ok"</LI>

 <LI> Hit "Ok" again</LI>

 <LI> You now have a new IP address.
 
 With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.</LI></OL></P>
 
 
<h3>P.S:</h3>

 <p>This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back.  </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FWindows%2FHow-to-Change-Your-IP.39913"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FWindows%2FHow-to-Change-Your-IP.39913" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
