Google Exntension Spotlight: goo.gl URL Shortener

3/8/2016

0 Comments

 

Here is a great extension to add to your chrome browser from the Chrome Web store.  This magnificent tool adds an icon at the top of your browser that when clicked it will automatically present you with a shorten version of the site you are currently on.  Best of all it places it on your clip board for you so all you need to do is paste it in an email or wherever you want to send the new link to.

So instead of sending a link like this:  https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/googl-url-shortener/iblijlcdoidgdpfknkckljiocdbnlagk?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon


You can send this: goo.gl/DUrXQ_

This extension can be installed from here: ​https://goo.gl/DUrXQ_

Clear Your Browser's Cache

2/9/2016

For the times when your local tech asks you to "clear your browser's cache" to most people this is a foreign concept.  To other's they wonder where their browser store it's "Cash".

Clearing the cache is usually the first step in fixing certain issues that may arise during your browsing experience.  Things seem to slow, websites may not load properly; although rare this does happen and keeping your browser's cache clean on a regular basis (especially after heavy internet usage) can alleviate a lot of issues.

First, what does this mean?

Your browser's cache is pretty much a collection of data collected during your visits to various web pages, this includes location, browsing history, pictures and other media that browsers tend to load in the back ground, and other store information for later use (this way the website will know you have visited it's page from this computer before).

Here is a short tutorial on how to remove and clear all of that excess data:

Hello Leona Techs! 

If you are a Leona Employee and you use technology then you are a Leona Tech :)

Sorry for the late post, I had a last minute request that was an excellent tip suggestion!

I am posting two videos below, the first one is on how to get the code to embed your google calendar onto your web site.

The second I will walk you through embedding your google calendar onto a Weebly page.  If you do not use Weebly the second video is not for you, but since most of our Leona Tech's use Weebly to manage their school sites, feel free to take a look!!
