My Internet Explorer 9, Cradlepoint, and organizing my pictures and documents

I think I have my Internet Explorer 9 all set. At least I hope so. I discovered I can both have homepage tabs and have them pinned to my taskbar. Reading the pdf downloaded manual it said something about being able to have pinned sites together in one spot. Not quite sure what that means and how to do it. But as long as everything is working properly is all that really matters.

I'm not sure if I have cradlepoint setup properly after losing cradlepoint while downloading the upgrade. I accidently hit download while I was still reading the screen and it started downloading and I hadn't made a backup before downloading. Lost cradlepoint while downloading and after waiting several minutes (probably close to 30 minutes) and cradlepoint hadn't came back up I close the program which it said not to do. OOPS!!. Well then when I went back in to do upgrade I was on a different screen and had to set cradlepoint back up. After it finished setting up I wound up losing cradlepoint 2 or 3 times while I was working over internet. So I fired them off an email explaining my problem. I got a message they had received my email and support would get back with me in order of receipt of emails. So far I haven't gotten an email back but I haven't lost cradlepoint yet today. Hope I haven't spoke to soon.

Well I should be trying to figure out how I want to organize all my info so I can put it on Dropbox. But I haven't quite decide how I want or need to do it yet. I have alot of pictures in my Legacy Family Tree Software already organized somewhat either by person or family, but I don't have them all linked to the family members yet. Only have a few pictures of the people themselves linked, but I have pictures of documents which I have linked to alot of them. Some are birth or marriage record images, some are census images that I have found that had several family members on them, so instead of saving to person or family, I have them in folders by for example US Census, 1850 US Census, then by the state. Reason being didn't want to make copy of the same images to put in persons folder.

One problem I have is that I didn't get all of the family done in one sitting and forget to make a note to myself where I left off. Really have to start doing that better. I also had had some in a different location now I have to fix that up so links are working properly for everyone. I'm just not sure if I want to make a copy of all my data that I have in my Legacy program and put on C: drive separate from my Legacy program because I want to put all my Legacy data, pictures etc on my Passport (which I still need to erase and start over with it). So should I have a copy of everything in my Legacy program on C drive and Passport and Dropbox. I'm always adding new docs or pictures and I forget to put them in Legacy and put them in C drive in pictures, or documents then have to move them or copy them to Legacy. So have I been to redundant? Any thoughts? This is not to mention the flashsticks that I have info on and can't remember if I transferred that over.

Oh well eventually I might decide how I want to get everything sorted out.

Still haven't figured out how to put google search bar at top of my blog. Need to research this.

Oh well that's enough rambling for now.
Take CARE and have a Great Day!!!!

Just downloaded. GeneaWebinars

Just downloaded GeneaWebinars calendar into my Google Calendar and I added the Badge. Hope I did it right DearMyrtle. Hope everything works fine because I lost cradlepoint from my goofy router.

Maybe tonight I will finish getting blog site setup.

I need to add printer friendly to my site. Not sure what else I need and want. I want it looking nice and easy to use and find.

I am still trying to figure out this new Internet Explorer 9. Got as far as page 13 last night in the manual and was getting to tired to go any further. I kind like being able to click on site I have pinned to my taskbar but I don't know if having my yahoo mail pinned there will give me notifications when someone is using Yahoo Plus or whatever it is my one niece uses when she contacts me.

I'm trying to decide between keeping Yahoo as my homepage or I Google as my homepage. I already have 8 homepages which is my limit. Oh what to do! But then again is Google going to work properly with my new Internet Explorer 9?

I want to get some pages set up on my blog. I need to watch Blogging for Beginners #2 again. Sure wish I wasn't so dense. Pictures along with instructions go along way with me.

Still need to get all my stuff in my dropbox. Want to get it better organized before I do it. See what I really want to save and what I don't. I think I have things scattered all over between my flashsticks, my computer, my Legacy files. I like organization but I sure have a hard time getting everything organized. I think it's my inability to decide where to put it.

Oh what to do? Someday I may just everything working properly and easily. Good Luck to ME.

I'm so lost about setting up my blog.

I get confused so easy with all this new technology (not new to others, but me). I get lost. I really want to get this up and running properly. Looking at other blogs they look so nice. I'm the type of person that needs baby step instructions with pictures that show me in detail what I'm supposed to do.

It must be because I'm a simple person. I don't know all this computer lingo. At least I know how to turn it on. Can't afford to pay someone to help me.

I have Windows Internet Explorer I think version 8. I have always used Yahoo as my search place. At one time I did use Google Chrome but kept getting errors and my poor computer seemed to be laboring so hard. But it seems everyone is using Google. So now I have my blog on google I have a yahoo mail account and a gmail account.

I have 8 homepages that open when I click to go on internet. Facebook, Yahoo, Yahoo mail, Geni, Genealogy Wise, FamilySearch, Twitter, and Blogger (my blogs) site. Some I use my yahoo mail address (because when I got my computer and got hooked up with internet that was how I set my email up) the sites I had to have a google account I set up gmail email account). My Facebook account has both email addresses but I use my yahoo email address to sign in but I have all activity go to gmail. (Am I confusing my system?) I have Geni, Genealogy Wise, FamilySearch and Twitter all with my Yahoo email address for signing in. I also use Legacy Family Tree software which I have yahoo email acct setup and Skype Yahoo email.

When trying to setup my blog I may have confused it when adding gadgets. Yesterday I downloaded the dropbox application and I am pretty sure I set up my account with yahoo email address.

I watched the Blogging for beginners (both presentations) from DearMYRTLE. The second one I watched live and then watched it from Legacy archives. There were a couple of people that set up their blogs while webinar was going on (I don't know how they did that). But I'm still lost. I tried to change my template and it won't bring up other than black screen when I hit template design screen is divided with little white box says live under it. but can't do anything. When I set up my blog I just simple template. Figuring I could come back later and change the design.

Oh by the way I get messages on some sites popblocker blocked click here to see. I don't remember if I clicked to see anything there when I set my blog up or not.

Is there anyway I can use 2 windows (one to view the instructions or a blog from ex. DearMYRTLE showing me what to do and have My blog open in the other window doing what is being explained) open at same time.

I want to set up the print friendly gadget, have comments that I can view, have my blog go to and post to facebook and would be nice to have it go to twitter and Genealogy Wise and Geni (not sure if I can have it go there or not).

Sorry if I have you confused. I'm not good at explaining things. I just want everything working right and would be nice to have it all work together. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated.

I have alot of work on my Legacy Family Tree to get it ready for FamilySearch when we can access it thru Legacy. I'm not sure what all I have to fix to make it like it should be. I know I have to do my addresses and I have to take out all my Mrs. prefixes for wives. (Kinda confused on that if that is what the document says I got name from).

I have alot of genealogy I want to put on here and have it look nice, tell whatever I know about the person and if I have pictures or documents to include (like a birth certificate, marriage license or census record something like that).

I really need to learn how to make my sources better for Legacy I don't know how to write the source for say a 1930 US Census from Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org or Footenote. I have a lot of learning to do and some of the same census info came from all locations. And another question on this is if I have the image of the document that I downloaded can I include it for that person. And if I can do I have to make it private or can I keep it public.

Also need help with links. I know your supposed to put complete url address in but I can't always see the whole address. And in my Legacy Family Tree I didn't put url addresses in most of my sources just where I got it from if I remembered to source it.

I want to set this up so it looks professional and is understandable and easy.

Well I guess I have rambled on enough for now. Hope someone can sure help me out and get me unconfused.

Ok I'm testing my blog to see if I have it connected to networkedblogs and facebook. Wish me luck I never got to verify after adding my widget and saving it. So hope I did it right.

DearMYRTLE Webinar today.

Can't wait this is my first live webinar. Hope everything goes OK. I don't have Outlook. So I think I have to go to my sign in from my yahoo mail confirmation from Geoff. Sure hope I have no glitches. I think I have to close all my other homepages. I'm going to close them all just to be on the safe side.
