I love to fine useful bits of knowledge, especially when they are free.  Check this page out for some free MS Office Excel 2010 training videos.

For those of you who use Firefox or Chrome, Gmail, the AdBlock Plus extension and are experiencing problems accessing your mail via the browser.  Here is the simple solution for you:

AdBlock Plus was causing the issue of not seeing GMail content in the email messages.  All you have to do is update your AdBlock Plus+ subscriptions.

• In Firefox – Go to:

Tools > Add Ons > AdBlock Plus Options > Filters > Update All Subscriptions

• In Chrome – Go to:

The Wrench Icon > Tools > Extensions > AdBlock Plus > Options > Update Now

AdBlock Plus was causing the issue of not seeing GMail content in the email messages and for the Chat app to not display correctly.  Updating the subscription will clear the message content to be viewable immediately after you refresh your email.  The credit for this solution goes to user waynecz in the Google Forums for this answer!

OK, so the other day after my Google Apps domain was upgraded to be a Google account I was then all of a sudden dealing with a conflict between my personal and business accounts.  If you are in this same boat there is a little known advanced feature that will enable you to sign into multiple accounts from a single browser session.  Go to the following URL:

https://www.google.com/accounts/b/0/MultipleSessions

Visit this site from after logging into each of your accounts that you want to share the browser session with and enable it.  Log out of all your accounts, restart your browser and voila!  Many thanks to the Google developer that made this possible.

Enjoy!

We all want ways to do things faster and more efficiently. Many people are unaware of shortcuts that are built into the OS that allow you to preform certain common and useful functions. I ran across a post over at addictivetips.com today that summarized the best shortcuts in Windows 7.  Some of these will also work in older versions of Windows as well.
