How to set up Microsoft Outlook 2007

Many people have trouble setting up email using MS Outlook. The procedure is quite simple and I will explain in detail how to do this. Older versions of Outlook do not have the auto detect feature so this tutorial may come in handy. You must have an email account set up before you can setup Microsoft Outlook. For information on how to configure your 1and1 mail settings click here.

(Note - this information is 1and1 specific but may work for most people. You will have to change the Incoming mail server and Outgoing mail server options! You may have to edit the ‘More settings> Advanced’ also.)

This tutorial is based on Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 but previous versions should be similar. If you still have problems setting up your email, just fire up your favorite search engine and search for a solution- there is a LOT of tutorials on this subject.

CSS What is it?

admin — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:13:03 +0000

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used to describe the presentation of a document written in HTML, XHTML, and even XML.

CSS is used to position, color, and display text and elements in various ways. With the old methods of web design quickly becoming obsolete, CSS is widely used throughout the Internet.

Cascading Style Sheets are designed primarily to separate document content from document presentation. CSS provides cleaner markup and ease of use. It is possible to change the display of multiple pages using one line of code which makes it easier and quicker to get the job done. While CSS is not the only way to position and style your web pages, many web designers find it the most convenient.
