E-mail
Electronic-mail – a way of sending messages between computers linked
through a network. An email server is typically a combination of processes
running on a server with a large storage capacity – a list of users and rules,
and the capability to receive, send and store emails and attachments. These
servers are designed to operate without constant user intervention. Should
process emails for months as sending, receiving and maintenance tasks are
carried out at scheduled times. The client only has to connect to the email
server when it sends and checks/receives new email. Sometimes it may be
permanently connected to the server to allow access to shared address books
or calendar information – this is typical of a LAN-based email server.
Creation of personal E-mail ID
1 Connect your computer to the Internet.
2 Open a Web browser and type in the Web address of the company with which
you want to get an email ID. Yahoo is free and very easy to set up (see Resources
below).

3 Clicks on "Sign up." On the Yahoo page this says "Don't have a Yahoo ID?"
above it. All other companies should have an equally identifiable button right on
the front page.
3. 4 Fill out your personal information. This includes your name, date of birth,
gender and country. Most companies do not ask for your specific address. You
should never be asked for anything as personal as a Social Security number. This is
not necessary to get an email account, so be suspicious if this is solicited.
5 Get out a pen and paper and begin writing out email ID's that you would like to
have. He best ones are easy to remember. Your name or a nickname that everyone
knows you by are good places to start. Stay away from phrases such "I
JustTturned50" because in 10 years you won't be 50 anymore. If you
are dating someone it's also not a good idea to use "RockysGirl" because you may
break up a few months later and you will have to change your email ID. List about
10 ID's and put them in order, from most favorite to least.
6 Start with your favorite ID and type it in the ID box on the email service's Web
page and click "Check." A few seconds later you will be told whether this ID is
taken or not taken. If it is taken they will give you suggestions you can use, but
they almost always revolve around your name. You can choose one of them when
you have finished going through your list of favorites.
7 Create a password. This is usually longer than eight characters and it is best to
make it a combination of both letters and numbers. There will be a bar next to the
password that will light up how strong your password is (the stronger the better,
because that means it is harder for someone to guess it).
8 Type in the letters on the screen and click done. The letters are there so they
know a real human being is registering and not some computer robot. It's just a
safety measure taken by the company.
9 Let your friends know what your new email address is and start sending and
receiving your emails.
Blogs
A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog)is a discussion or
informational site published on the world wide web and consisting of
discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order
(the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work
of a single individual occasionally of a small group, and often covered a
4. single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed,
with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited.
MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think
tanks, advocacy tools and similar institutions account for an increasing
quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microbloggin"
systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal new
streams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content
to a blog
Creation of Blog
Blogger makes getting started REALLY simple. The set up hardly needs
explanation (but I will anyway).
1. Go to http://www.blogger.com
2. You will see the Blogger homepage
3. Click on the “CREATE YOUR BLOG NOW” button to begin.
5. Fill out the information and click on the “CONTINUE” button
6. You will then see the “Name your blog” page.
7. This is an important page because this is where you first set your online
Identity. A title and address are very important. You want to choose ones
That mean something to you and are easy for others to associate with your
blog.
8. You’ll also notice the “Word Verification”. This is a picture of a series of
numbers and letters. Computers have a difficult, if not impossible time
“reading” these sets of numbers. Therefore this is a security step that
Assures that computers aren’t being used to register accounts and clogging
up the Blogger system. You’ll also see these when posting comments to
5. people’s blog posts. This is to make sure that spammers can’t post
comments on your blog.
9. Fill out the information on this page and click on the “CONTINUE”
button.
