WordPress Security

The Computer Spirit Posted on April 29, 2014 by Joyce S KayeSeptember 19, 2019

WordPress security is serious business and what you don’t know can actually hurt you! A hacked site can wreak havoc on your search engine rankings for weeks or more without you knowing about it.

Have you ever copied and pasted something into Word, only to discover it inserts paragraph returns in odd places?

Excel: Split Text into Different Cells

The Computer Spirit Posted on January 30, 2014 by Joyce S KayeSeptember 19, 2019

Back in the ’90’s, a client gave me a large Excel file that needed to be exported into an Access database. Thing was, each address had been typed into one cell, instead of separate cells, i.e., one cell each for street address, city, state, and zip code. I cringed at the thought of having to manually split the data into separate cells, and was frantic about how to proceed. I had a programmer friend, and … Continue reading →

The Computer Spirit Posted on October 31, 2013 by Joyce S KayeSeptember 19, 2019

Having info in the subject line automatically populated is beneficial to both the sender and the recipient: the sender doesn’t have to type a subject line, the recipient reads a subject line that is informative (and consistent).
