I have been using Firefox for a few years now, and it wasn’t until this past year did I really start to take advantage of its shortcuts. Today, I’m going to round up all of the keyboard shortcuts I use on a daily basis.
How to Convert Your VHS Movies to DVDs
My wife and I have several old VHS movies that are either home movies or are no longer in print. We have always wanted to be able to convert them to DVDs in order to continue to view them, because we no longer own a VHS player.
The guys over at Unclutterer have written a quick guide on the various ways you can accomplish this goal of moving into the 21st century.
The article lets you know about a few places that will do the transfer for you, and it also gives you some pointers on how to do it yourself if you find yourself being motivated.

Podcast #1 for MakeUseOf
MakeUseOf gave us all a Mother’s Day present by starting their very own podcast. I have been a fan of this site for some time now (enough so that I am now a writer for them!), and they have always provided great information about all of the tools you need to get the most out of your computer and the Internet.
The first podcast does not disappoint and keeps the tradition going. I am looking forward to this podcast turning into a great series and hope that you guys will check it out.

How to Center Pictures in WordPress
WordPress is a great tool, but it is not without a few bugs here and there. I have found that the ability to center images in WordPress is a little lacking, so I’m going to tell you guys the solution I have found to get that picture centered just right using HTML.
- Place <center> before the image’s HTML code and </center> after the image’s HTML code.
I know there is some other HTML code that is supposed to center the images, but I found this method to work the best for me.
One final thing to keep in mind is to make sure you add this code at the end of editing your post. I have noticed that if you edit your post several times after adjusting your image, WordPress will just ignore the HTML changes you made.
Let me know what your solutions are.
