Welcome

My name’s Rose Vines. I’m an Australian writer, editor and activist, working in New Orleans. I write for computer magazines in Australia and the US and act as the technical dogsbody for the Death Penalty Discourse Network and Sister Helen Prejean. I’m interested in making technology accessible to people and helping people use technology to make the world a better place.

I’m also a sponsor of four girls at the Mehan Orphanage run by the extraordinary Afghan organisation, AFCECO. I’ve built a website for AFCECO sponsors, called Hope for Afghan Children.

Mousing around

DateFriday, July 3, 2009 at 03:31PM

On my website, Geekgirl’s Plain English Computing, I have a whole section devoted to people who are completely new at the computing game. These days, this consists largely of the older generations, but there are others who qualify, too.

It’s been a while since I updated these articles, but I have now started to do so. The first article I’ve freshened up is Basic Mousing Technique. If you are still trying to get your mousing technique perfected - or you know someone who needs to - it’s worth a read. I also explain mousing terminology, such as “drag and drop”, “Ctrl+clicking” and so on.

As I said, it’s very basic, but we all needed to start somewhere.

Thank you, you answered the question I have been searching for which was whether or not to place keywords when blog commenting.
