Well, you may not think they are awesome, but I sure did. Just a few random things that I didn’t know (you probably already know) but just in case, I’ve gotta share:
1. I discovered last winter that most of our Wii games were horribly scratched and wouldn’t play. We laid down the law and told the kids that if they wanted to play, they would have to pay for new games with their own money. (do your kids put the discs back when they are finished?!? arghhhh…such a pet peeve of mine) My daughter asked if anybody fixed wii games..and I didn’t know. We googled around a bit and found Azura Disc and figured it was worth a try? So, we sent in 7 discs, they were able to make 6 as good as new for around $27 total shipped. It was like Christmas when they got the games back. I have no affiliation whatsoever with them…but they are my kids’ new best friends!
2. Did you know you are supposed to format your memory card (if you get a new one) for your dslr camera? My pictures were taking FOREVER to upload to the computer, to play back, etc. I figured it was because it was a large memory card, but then I came across a tutorial one day that someone was asking the same question and they said you had to format your new card on your camera…who knew?? Probably me if I read the instructions, but it has made uploading pictures to my computer 10 times faster.
For Canon: make sure all of your pictures are off the card, then Menu---->Format---->Set-----> Yes you want to.
3. Did you know you are supposed to put bobby pins in with the zigzag side against your head? They hold so much better…who knew? (from a magazine at the dentist’s office….)
4. Did you know that in Blogger, you can put your own favicon (the little square picture box that shows up by a website) with your blog now? Got to dashboard---->Design-----> and then at the top you will see this:
and you can upload the picture you want for your favicon. Very neat. :) Do you see the little 320 up there now for my blog?
I hope these helped~don’t you love tips?
I’ll be back here tomorrow with a fun giveaway~
This is why I love you! I'm seriously sending my wii games in tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteFun tips! Thanks! I'm off to change my favicon now :)
ReplyDeleteAs the mom of four girls, it was an eye opener to me when I learned that bobby pins from a beauty supply store are way better than the grocery store variety (and they don't cost much more either).
