</div>
<div>
Besides Vampirestat, etc., the latest possible spam is called Top Blog Stories.com</div>
<div>
There are others showing up that I don't recognize, such as 7 Secret Search , kamangra 100 blog .</div>
<div>
At first, I thought these were good, recognizing my great writing ability:)</div>
<div>
Then, I learned the hard way that these are spam. I clicked on the link, and thus opened the door to more spam. I learned NEVER to click directly on an unknown referring site link.</div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Hot to Handle Referrer Spam in Referring Website and URLs</strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
To check out a referrer site, we can run a search, such as "what is top blog stories. com"</div>
<div>
Then look through the search results for some answers. Usually, we don't even need to click a link, as the search results summaries will give you the information you need.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
As online writers, we must be aware that not only are there harmful spammy sites that look like "referring" sites, but also running a search question can lead to fake and spammy "reference" sites that are set up to spam us again.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Though I am a novice-intermediate to online writing, I've learned to develop a sense about "fishy" sites, just as I learned about "fishy" email. If it doesn't look right, don't click. If we are unsure, take the precaution of running a search "What is _______." </div>

<br />
An example is the automatic window resizing and docking feature.<br />
<br />
This means that when working with a window, if the user accidentally moves the window to the upper right hand corner, that the window will suddenly fill the entire screen. Or, if the user accidentally moves the window to the right, the window will stay there and take up half the screen.<br />
<br />
Some users life this feature; other users find it distracting.<br />
<br />
The directions by <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/220222/Windows.html" target="_blank">Rick Broida for PC World</a> show that it's easy to turn this feature on and off.<br />
He notes that the The difficulty is finding where. The answer is the mouse.<br />
<br />
Here are the directions, though the articles in the resources explains the process fairly smoothly. <br />
<br />
"1. Click <em>Start</em>, type <strong>Ease</strong>, then click <em>Ease of Access Center</em>.<br />
2. Scroll down a bit and click <em>Make the mouse easier to use.</em><br />
3. Scroll down to and enable the last checkbox in that window: <em>Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.</em><br />
4. Click <em>OK..."</em><br />

Even if the manual is available, it may not contain the specific information necessary for a specific issue. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.manualsonline.com/" target="_blank">Manuals Online</a> offers access to thousands of manuals. There were even directions to our old television set. When the VCR/DVD/old TV wouldn't display properly, the kids were sure that their latest, favorite movie would remain unseen. But a quick trip to Manuals Online, and I was able to follow the steps to get the audio and video back for the movie. A side benefit was the short-lived, but sincere awe of the kids, "How did you do that!?" I showed them the fairly easy steps. A side benefit is the feeling of empowerment from knowing how use research to solve problems.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5289608442041934006.post-61347983036938433532011-12-11T19:29:00.000-08:002011-12-11T19:29:59.117-08:00Blogging Advice from Angela England's Blog<a href="http://www.angengland.com/from-freelance-to-full-time-transitioning-from-blogging/#more-2734" target="_blank">Angela England, Renaissance Woman</a><br />
