These are simple tips which I will share to you, when you use public computers at cafes, airports or other public places. so you can be safe when you use them.

1. Don't save your logon information
Always log out of Web sites by clicking "log out" on the site. It's not enough to simply close the browser window or type in another address.
Many programs (especially social networking Web sites, Web mail, and instant messenger programs) include automatic login features that will save your user name and password. Disable this option so no one can log in as you.

2. Don't leave the computer unattended with sensitive information on the screen
If you have to leave the public computer, log out of all programs and close all windows that might display sensitive information.

3. Erase your tracks
if you browse using internet explorer, On Internet Explorer8 offers InPrivate browsing that leaves no trace of specific Web activity. For more information, see Browse privately. it also keeps a record of your passwords and every page you visit, even after you've closed them and logged out.
Disable the feature that stores passwords
Before you go to the Web, turn off the Internet Explorer feature that "remembers" your passwords.

1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
2. Click the Content tab, and then click Settings, next to AutoComplete.
3. Click to clear both check boxes having to do with passwords.

Delete your temporary Internet files and your history
When you finish your use of a public computer, you can help protect your private information by deleting your temporary Internet files.


4. Watch for over-the-shoulder snoops
When you use a public computer, be on the look out for thieves who look over your shoulder or watch as you enter sensitive passwords to collect your information.

5. Don't enter sensitive information
These measures provide some protection against casual hackers who use a public computer after you have. But keep in mind that an industrious thief might have installed sophisticated software on the public computer that records every keystroke and then e-mails that information back to the thief. Then it doesn't matter if you haven't saved your information or if you've erased your tracks. They still have access to this information.

WHAT is META TAG

Definition
Meta tags are a means to convey all important information about the web pages to search engines. so many types of meta tags but there are only 3(three) meta tags are often used, they include:

- Description Tags, 

- keywords Tags , and 

- Meta robots.

                                Description Tags 

Keyword search

Description Tag is created to provide an overview of the contents of web pages. The text you want to be shown as your description goes between the quotation marks after the "content=" portion of the tag (generally, 200 to 250 characters may be indexed, though only a smaller portion of this amount may be displayed). Examples of writing meta tag description is as follows:

<meta name="description" content =,"All about blogger, seo,  computers and technology ">

Some search engines like Northern Light, and Google doesn't use meta tags as a description of its search results. What they use is the beginning of sentences which exist on the page.
 I recommend that you use the contents of the meta tag description as the opening sentence.

Keyword Tags
Keyword Tags or keyword search, also called keywords, so keywords that you create a benchmark for the search engines find your web pages.

Basic syntax written of the keyword tag is :

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1 KEYWORD2 keyword3 ...">

 
or there is also a write with a comma separator:

<meta name="keywords" content="keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, ...>

Both of them are same and there is no influence on search engines. The purpose of the use of a comma on keywords tag, for keywords are easier to read. but don't you ever repeat the same word more than 3 times,
because it will be considered spamming.  
an example of the wrong keyword tag.
<meta name="keywords" content="Blog, Blogging, walkblogger, blogger template, bloggingly>

  
In the example above, we do find the word "blog" is repeated 5 times, that will be considered spamming.
Remember, the keywords you use, it should be relate to the content of your web pages. because if isn't, that will be considered spamming too.

Meta Robots The main purpose of the use of meta robots is to determine which web pages can be indexed by spiders.These tags are very useful especially when a website uses frames for navigation. Of course we don't want the menus in the frame to be read by search engines.The basic format of the meta tag robots are as follows:
<meta name="robots" content="index | noindex | follow | nofollow">

For example, if you want the spiders to read the main page, and browse through all links that exist then add the following:
<meta name="robots" content="index follow">

With this command, the spider will index your main page and schedule to index the other pages that can be searched via a hyperlink (<a href="">).
The following command will instruct spiders not to index and browse the links on a web page.
<meta name="robots" content="noindex nofollow">

that's all I know about, how to use the tags in blogger. I hope a little explanation that I wrote in this post, may be useful for you

How to Remove Underline on the Text Link

to remove the underline in a text link, you only need to change some csscode on the control panel of bloggers, consider the example below, after see the example below I am sure you can practice it immediately.

a:link {
color:#58a;
text-decoration:underline;
}

a:hover {
color:#c60;
text-decoration:underline;
}

a:visited {
color:#969;
text-decoration:underline;
}


To be more clear, let me explain the code:

a:link {
color:#58a;
text-decoration:underline;
}

the meanning of code is -> the link text color is blue and underlined

a:hover {
color:#c60;
text-decoration:underline;
}

the link when highlighted by mouse ( on mouse down ), the color will change to dark blue and underlined.

a:visited {
color:#969;
text-decoration:underline;
}


the link, if it ever clicked by the same computer will be colored dark blue and underlined.
so, where is the code above that make the link become underlined? you can guessed it now:

decoration:underline;

the word underlined that make the link become underlined. if you don't want the text links underlined, just change all the word underline on this code with the word none, and the example code will be as below:

a:visited {
color:#969;
text-decoration:none;
}

From the description above, of course you can set the link text, whether you want a link underlined or not underline? Or maybe you want, if a link in the highlight by mouse ( on mous down ), there are underlined or not underline? and if a link had been visited or clicked, there are underlined or not underline? it is up to you as the blog owner

WHAT is a BLOG ?

logo blogge

a blog is a site that publishes regular posts and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is short for weblog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called "blogging". Every article on a blog called "blog posts, A blog include text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files).

has the blogs in my opinion the same as having a tabloid company, and blogs are the product, a tabloid without the article in it certainly will not mean anything, as well as blog with no posts in it, for balance, blog content should be tailored to the theme of the blog, imagine, if you buy a sports magazine, and when you read it, you see the contents of this magazine is talk about politics, sure you will say "this is a mistake", the balance between theme blogs and content will greatly affect the quality of a blog

if writing is your hobby, blogging is a great way to appreciate your hobby
