How-Tos: How to Prepare Your Business for Pinterest
Pinterest is a site your business should have on its radar. It's like a virtual bulletin board, allowing users to curate a collection of things they like from around the Internet into various layouts, or boards.

How-Tos: Configuring Mail's rules
Many of us live and die by email, and because we do it makes sense to organize that email so that you can quickly find the messages you need.

How-Tos: Best Bets for Photo Sharing Sites
How do you share your photos? When I was a kid, "photo sharing" often meant sitting in a photo booth and then giving away the picture strip that it produced. (See how to make a modern, digital version by reading "Turn Your Digital Pictures into a Photo Strip.")

How-Tos: How Can I Help Family Members Fix Their PC Problems?
Long before I donned the Hassle-Free PC cape and unitard, I was the tech fixer for a much smaller group of users: my family members. And if there's one thing I learned in my many years of troubleshooting from afar, it's that the telephone is the worst tool in your arsenal.

How-Tos: How to fix iTunes Match Error tracks
Among the icons you might see in your iTunes library after enabling iTunes Match is this unfriendly guy to the left: a cloud with an exclamation point in it.

How-Tos: A Potential Fix for the Outlook 'General Failure' Error
Back in July I promised to help track down a solution to the "General failure" error that appears in Outlook when you click a link embedded in an e-mail.

How-Tos: How to Recover a Lost Phone, Tablet, or Laptop
The bad news: At some point, your cell phone is likely to go missing. Whether it falls out of your pocket in a cab, or you leave it unattended in a public place for a few seconds only to have it swiped by someone with sticky fingers and low moral fiber, your phone is vulnerable. In fact, according to a report from security software company Symantec, 36 percent of U.S. consumers have had a cell phone disappear on them.

How-Tos: Work Around Error In Shared Google Calendar
Google Calendar rocks--except when it doesn't. For example, the managers of my daughter's soccer team use the free service to share a practice, game, and event schedule with all the parents--a much more practical solution than sending out endless e-mails or making photocopies of a paper schedule.
