Add PDF / Word Files on Your Website

Tips Joy - computing, housework, health, gardening, travel, Seattle tips.

Publish PDF or Word Files Tips

 

Problems: How to add PDF or Word document files to my webpage and the readers can print them directly? 

Publish PDF or Word files tips: First you need upload PDF / Word files to the folder of your hosting server (Web site). Then add interlinks to these files at the specific locations of your web page HTML file.


Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is a great way to display documents and to be printed. You can use it for the documents you don't want people to be able to edit. The PDF document is also independent of the application software, hardware and operating system used to create, display, or print it. Here is the Acrobat Reader Web site 
 
It’s easy to include a PDF or Word file on your web page, so your readers can open it or download it directly.

Create your PDF / Word files
Use Adobe Acrobat or other PDF printer to create PDF file (e.g. Test1.pdf using free PDF converter software)
Use Microsoft Office or other software to crate word file (e.g. Test2.doc).

Find the PDF / Word file folder of your website
Find the folder name where you will upload the PDF and Word files to? Main folder or another folder on your Web site? If you have a lot of PDF /Word files, it's better to keep them in a separate directory> The main folder can be used mainly for HTML files. (e.g., you can create a new folder “documents” for both PDF and Word files)

Upload PDF / Word file to the folder of your hosting server (Web site)
Upload your PDF / Word files (Test1.pdf, Test2.doc) to the folder (e.g., “documents”) of your hosting server. You can use the easy file upload program that your Web hosting service provides (e.g., CPanel File Manager) or use a FTP program to upload your pdf file to your Web site.

Make a link to the PDF / Word file on your Web page
Use HTML editor (free software NotePad++) to link the PDF / Word file to your Web page. Add the hyperlink to the place where you want the link to show up in the body of your webpage HTML file.

If you had uploaded the PDF /Word file on the same (your hosting) server, the code would look like:
<a href ="documents/Test1.pdf">Click here for the Test1.pdf PDF file</a>
<a href ="documents/Test2.doc">Click here for the Test2.doc Word file</a>

If you had uploaded the PDF /Word file on a different hosting server, the code would look like this instead:
<a href ="http://www.yourwebsite.com/documents/Test1.pdf">Click here for the Test1.pdf PDF file</a>
<a href ="http://www.yourwebsite.com/documents/Test2.doc">Click here for the Test2.doc Word file</a>





Testing the link on your Web page
When click the link on your Web page, the PDF / Word file will be opened or can be saved as a file on the reader’s computer.

Build a Strong Family Relationship Tips

Problems: How to build and maintain a strong family relationship?

Strong Family Relationship Tips: We all need to learn the importance of the relationships with our families. Always show them that they are important to you with care, trust, respect, and appreciation.

Our families are important to us. A strong family teaches us how to function well in the world. It provides love and warmth to all of us. It gives us the support we need to make it through life’s toughest spots.
The following are valuable tips to build a strong family relationship.

Always show care, trust, respect, and appreciation
We all need to learn the importance of the relationships with our families. Always show them that they are important to you with care, trust, respect, and appreciation. Just as you have to work on any friendship or marriage you must work on your relationships with your family.


Always spend time together
To build strong family relationships, listen actively to each other. Let all family members feel heard and respected to encourage all family members share their thoughts and feelings. Expressions of sincere recognition, appreciation, love, and praise will strengthen any family relationship.


Always have good communication
To build strong family relationships, listen actively to each other. Let all family members feel heard and respected to encourage all family members to share their thoughts and feelings. Expressions of sincere recognition, appreciation, love, and praise will strengthen any family relationship.


Always handle family conflict fairly and work at solving problems
All families have conflict--it’s a natural part of human relationships. Strong families are able to work through fights and disagreements by focusing on the problems, rather than by “tearing each other down.”

Fights should never become violent. When people are so angry that they feel like hitting one another or throwing things, then the discussion should be stopped. Agree to get together to talk again after everyone has had a chance to calm down.

In strong families, conflicts and crises are times when the members pull together in order not to be pulled apart by the imposing difficulties.


Always commit yourself to the goal of a strong family
First, let the individual members of your family know that they have priority over those outside the family. This kind of commitment builds loyalty and devotion into the home. Strong families are deeply committed to the family unit and to promoting the happiness and welfare of each other. Family commitment comes from an active involvement in setting and carrying out family goals.

How to Reduce Saturated Fat in Cooking?

Cut Meat Fat in Cooking
 
Problems: How to cut meat fat in cooking and keep my weight in control?

Healthy Cooking Tips: Choose lean cuts; trim all visible fat; use low-fat cooking techniques; drain fat from cooked meats; skim off fat from soups and stews, and to reduce saturated fat.


Here are some useful tips to reduce the saturated meat fat in cooking and will keep your body in better shape:


Choose extra-lean meat and skinless chicken breasts
Lean beef cuts include the round, chuck, sirloin or loin. Lean pork cuts include the tenderloin or loin chop, while lean lamb cuts come from the leg, arm and loin.

Trim all visible fat from meats and poultry before cooking
Cut off all visible meat fat before or after cooking. Remove poultry skin before eating to help lower fat, but remove it before cooking to lower even more.

Use low-fat cooking techniques
Grill, broil, bake, braise, steam, poach, slow-cook, and microwave foods instead of frying them.

Drain the fat during or after cooking
Use a rack or pan to drain off fat when broiling, roasting or baking. Drain fat with a line mesh strainer, skillet, or colander and blot them with kitchen paper. An alternative to drain the fat from the pan is to rinse the meat with hot water once the meat is cooked.

Skim off fat from soups and stews made with meat or poultry
Cook a day ahead of time. Stews, boiled meat, soup stock or other dishes in which fat cooks into the liquid can be refrigerated. Then the hardened fat can be removed from the top.


Eat chicken and turkey rather than other meats
Duck, goose, and red meats have higher fat. Organ meats such as liver, sweetbreads, kidney and brain are very high in cholesterol. If you're on a cholesterol-lowering diet, eat them only occasionally.

Eat fresh meat and limit processed meats
Many processed meats, such as sausage, bologna, salami and hot dogs, are high in calories and saturated fat. They are often high in sodium as well. If necessary, choose chicken or turkey sausages instead of pork or beef sausages.

Consider moderate portion sizes of meat
About the size of a deck of cards, to avoid excess calories and fat.

How to Prolong Laptop/Notebook Battery Life?

Tips Joy - computing, housework, health, gardening.

Maximize Laptop/Notebook Battery Life Tips


  
Problems: Is any problem if I plug in my laptop/notebook all the time? Do I need take out the battery from my laptop if I use AC most of time?

Laptop/Notebook Battery Tips: With a little bit of care, you can maximize the battery life and lifespan of your laptop /notebook's battery.



The following are useful standard maintenance tips for a lithium-based battery. It will prolong your laptop/notebook battery life.
Temperature
Keep and store the laptop/notebook as near room temperature as possible (50° to 95°F). Don’t leave it locked in a hot trunk during the summer.

In portable
Keep the laptop/notebook in portable occasionally. Don’t leave your laptop/notebook plugged in all the time. It will damage and shorten the battery life.

Charging and discharging
Keep the laptop/notebook charging and discharging its battery at least once per month.

Removing the battery
Consider removing the battery from the laptop/notebook if you use it at home with access to AC power most of the time.

Long-term storage
Store the battery with a 50% charge for long-term storage. Neither fully discharged nor fully charged. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.
