As mentioned in one of my previous post I am often asked about computer purchases and what kind should that person buy. As consumers we are normally driven to name brand items based upon what others may say about that product…that is normal. But I often say when you are looking to purchase a computer know what you are using it for (business or pleasure), how may people will be using it, will it be stationary or mobile…just to name a few. But I also say find out what others are saying about the companies service when it come to support because in most cases you do get a warranty with the initial purchase and there is no promise that your product will arrive in good condition. Items can get damaged during delivery.
Me personally I am way more partial to building a computer. The biggest advantage in my eyes is you know what you are getting and it is can be cheaper than buying one…especially if your monitor, key board and mouse are still good. For me it is the CPU (Central Processing Unit) I am more concerned about when it comes to performance and stability. As a matter of fact here is an old video I did showing the systems I had in my home work area (The Lab).
All systems were modified or upgraded by me for almost nothing (especially if we had spare parts at work) and the blue lighted one was built for around $700.00. This did not include the operating system and applications because I already had them. But for what I wanted to specifically use the systems for the build was perfect and inexpensive. Now for those who are high intermediate to advanced we have a general understanding of what is gonna be required for our systems. But for the beginner to to mid-intermediate your requirements will change as the usage of your computer goes on. Keep in mind a few things….hard drive space for music, documents, games, and downloads, and at least 1gb of RAM to start. The 512 mb memory is good but you will notice latency in response when you have numerous applications open or during gameplay. If you are interested or would like to know more about our PC Building services just go to out “Submit Support Ticket” tab and create a ticket. We will be more than happy to assist you. Some of you are equipped to go through this process and some of you would prefer to let a professional handle this task…we are here.
One of the biggest thing that makes me laugh as a technician is when a person can’t tell me what version of Office they are using. Lot of times I hear “I don’t know” or “Windows 2010 or 2011″. Another thing is many don’t understand the lower versions of Office are NOT compatible with the higher versions without a plugin (or converter) installed. You can get it by clicking here. And if you are not sure which version of Office you are using…here is a video to help you know the difference between Office 2007 & Office 2010.
In working with the different platforms for websites I find WordPress to be the simpler and easier out of the 2 I mainly use. This is not to downplay WordPress because you can do really nice things with it. And there are many plugins to make your site more exciting for the viewers and visitors. But if you want a platform that is not too complex I would suggest WordPress. And while you are at it, purchase the WordPress Bible written by my mentor Aaron Brazell to give you a better understanding on WordPress. But if you are like me you want to get your hands dirty, so here is a video on adding pages & post in WordPress.
As you know I do web hosting, administrating, and consulting. Although I do know some HTML coding I prefer to use either WordPress or Joomla for site building (see The Official Me in Me for Joomla look and WSMC Radio for WordPress look). They (for me) are easy to install and basically come ready to use. They come with default templates ready to use. For joomla there are some Components, Plugins, and Modules that come with the standard installation and WordPress has a set of standard plugins for their installation. It is finding the right template that will allow you to get the right feel for what you vision your website to look like.
I thought I would share with you a video on “How To” add an article in a Joomla based website. Keeping in mind your Section and Categories may differ, the way to add the article is the same.
As a technician I always hear “My computer is slow”. A lot of times all it needs is a simple cleaning so here is a video that will guide you through this process…hope it is helpful.
