Desktop Publishing Tips
By Michael Russell

Online publishing is not so difficult. You can just make a Blogger or Wordpress account and suddenly become a self-published author or you can use software like FrontPage to create a nice web page or you might as well start publishing a periodical newsletter. It's your call. The more you surf the Web and collect ideas from other sites, the more skilled you become.

Dale asked me the following question:

"How can i save the dancing lady file so that i can show it (animated)
when i'm working offline?"

Well Dale, it's easy. You get your mouse over the image and right click.

On the menu that pops up press "Save image as"

And save it on your Desktop or a folder. The magic is on the viewer that you open the image with. If it doesn't support animations then it won't animate.

When I updated skype from 1.3 to 1.4 in my kubuntu feisty system, when I tried to login it returned "Database Failure" error.

Well when you burn a cd with a utility like Nero then you have to select if it is a Data or an Audio cd. If you select data cd then your mp3 will be burned as is in the cd.

But then the problem is that if you want to play this on a regular cd player you simply can't. Your cd player cannot read mp's but only audio cd's.

So select Audio Cd and when inserting mp3's in your compilation Nero or whatever utility you use will convert them automatically to cda format (the format which is recognized by the cd players).

Now your regular cd player can play the and you can enjoy the music almost everywhere. If you have questions too don't hesitate to ask me.
