The Internet Public Library
When you need to find a computer/Internet related term, Webopedia is the site to visit. However, when you need information on anything else, you need to visit The Internet Public Library. If you don't need anything in particular, you'll enjoy browsing the library anyway. It has everything your own local library has--except books and noisy children.

Speed Test Your Connection
If you want to know the actual speed of your Internet connection, you need a way to measure download times. The easiest way to do this is to visit one or more sites that calculate the speed for you. We suggest that you try several sites and that you never base too much on a single measurement. Your speed will vary somewhat from test to test, and will certainly vary from one site to another. Below this tip are a couple of speed measuring sites that we've tried recently. Check them out and see what you think.

Blocking A Domain In Outlook Express
When you get an e-mail that you don't want, you can block that sender so that you won't get any more e-mail from that source. The problem is that the sender will just get e-mail through by using another name. For example, if you block alice@whatever.com, dodiddy@whatever.com will still get through.

One way to do a better job of blocking such e-mail is to block the entire domain. That way you can block anything that arrives from whatever.com. To do this, choose Tools | Message Rules | Blocked Senders List. When the dialog opens, click Add and type in the domain that you want to zap. Click OK to activate your new entry and close the dialog box.

Searching The Web
There are some standard search engine procedures that you can use to enhance your Web searches. For example, if you search for "chocolate cake" (using no quote marks in the search box) you'll probably get pages that refer to "chocolate" and "cake" and "chocolate cake." However, if you enclose the search words in quotes--as in "chocolate cake"--you'll get mostly responses that refer only to chocolate cake.

Headers In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 automatically prints the page numbers in the

header. If you prefer to eliminate this information, run IE and choose

File|Page Setup. When the Page Setup dialog box opens, delete the data in

the "Header" entry box. Click OK to save your settings and close the dialog

box.

Custom Headers And Footers In IE 6
In the last tip, we discussed how to eliminate headers in IE printouts. This time, let's look at how you can create custom headers and footers.

To create custom headers and footers, you need to know the correct codes to enter in the "Header" and "Footer" entry boxes. To display the list, click the question mark (?) in the upper right corner next to the Close box. The mouse pointer will become a question mark. With this pointer, click in the "header" entry box. A list of all the commands opens. You can combine these commands to create exactly what you want to print as headers and footers.
