Looking after your email account
One of the most important things you can do to look after your email account is to keep it as small as possible. All email accounts have a fixed size and if you fill your account up, it can be problematic to have to go through and remove emails via the webmail and delete things that you wanted to keep.
Using Reader View to make websites easier to read
If you're reading a long article on a website, all the surrounding adverts, pictures and links to other pages can get distracting, most modern web browsers now have a Reader Mode or Reader View which lets you get rid of the distractions and concentrate on what you're trying to read.
In this Tekeez Tip, we'll show you how to turn this mode on to make it easier to read the story you're trying to focus on.
How can I resize a picture?
Quite often, you’ll find yourself needing to resize a picture, this may be because you want to upload it to your website or insert it into a document. If you use the full size picture then you can cause your website to become very slow or cause your document to get far too large.
