How to send an email with Thunderbird

Thunderbird from Mozilla is useful for handling emails. Email clients like Thunderbird enables you to directly handle emails from your desktop without accessing your browser. So, for people with very less knowledge about hosting softwares like cPanel, Mailchimp, etc.; Thunderbird is a very good option. Mozilla released several versions of Thunderbird software. In this article, I will tell you how you can send an email from your Thunderbird software.

Getting emails is easy with this software. I have already mentioned how to setup Thunderbird and how you can link an account, in this article. Writing a mail from this account means you are writing from your hosted email account. This becomes especially important when you are writing from your company end or brand.

Using online hosted solutions are not that easy. You need to be a professional in order to setup the account properly first. Port address, channels and server details are some of the common terms that would come your way. Thunderbird solves this instantly. You just need to give simple details like username, password, etc. The rest is automatically determined.

I personally use this software for my brand mailing. Writing a mail is very easy. You will find an option bar just below the menu bar. The first option is “get mail” and the next is “write”. This “write” option is for composing new mail. Click on it and a window will appear.      

Here, you would clearly be able to see all options related to composing a new mail. You have the “to” option, “cc” and “bcc”. Then there is the “subject” option and finally the body. In case you want to attach a file to your mail, there is an option for it too. In the compose window, just below the menu bar there are few options. The first is the “send” and the third option is the “attach”. Click on this to select your attachment file.

All above mentioned options are according to a certain version of the software. Do not panic of they are not in their mentioned places. It might happen that they are present at different option spaces in different versions of the software.

How to make money by blogging

Blogging is a common term nowadays. People love to share their ideas and data with the world. With the latest technologies creeping in, money is also a factor that has been associated to blogging.

Monetizing your content is a good source of passive income. It often becomes a great income source for many. But how exactly does this happen? If you are a blogger or to be one; you should be well aware about the facts that play a vital role while monetizing your blog. You can make money by blogging by some very easy ways. But, these steps must be carefully followed in order to get the picture perfect results.

First of all, money is not the sole interest. Yes. That is the biggest and the most important rule. If you run towards the “money factor” from the very beginning, you would end up in a heavy crash. Putting up several ads or getting affiliates is not important initially.

The very first thing is to choose a topic that you know and know well. Don’t just choose a topic because someone else has flourished in it. You would go nowhere in that case. Be sure to choose your strength and then start off. I personally got my little bit of training from tutorials and videos by entrepreneur Lisa Irby. Here is the video for new bloggers to learn on AdSense and blogging. Also, this useful tutorial on niche blogging by Lisa Irby describes all positive moves that you should make before monetizing efforts.

Short blogging articles are very impressive. Making money from blogging is not tough. But, it requires a lot of skill. Understanding the concepts is very important. SEO, traffic and content – these are the three pillars of success. Write short and sweet articles. Write rich material. Write something that helps the readers.

Designing a website is important, but for bloggers it is not that significant. Try writing fresh articles every two days. This will keep your site’s content fresh. Getting a topic is easy. When you select a niche, just make notes of all that you know in that niche. For example, if your niche is travel jot down all possible topics for travelling. Suppose the places that you have been, the places you plan to go and why, interesting facts about uncommon places in the world, food specialities in certain cities, cultural activities in certain countries and so on.

Select a domain name that helps your niche description. Suppose travel-guides.com or go-to-places.info would be great names for a travel blog website. Keep constant track of your traffic stats and socialize your fresh content on various social networks. Reach out to people and tell them about your blog. Increase your audience and then go for ads. Making money from blogging would be very simple once you keep these in mind.

Easy methods to create a header text image in Photoshop

Photoshop allows you to do almost anything when we speak of image design and development. I happened to design an image myself. The image was basically a header text image for one of the websites I was working on. You could call it a logo. Initially, I tried to design an image that would contain a text ( or logo ), and the text would have some effect ( i mean it should not look dull and simple ).

Working with timezone and hourly time in PHP

PHP is a very useful as well as interesting language for developers. I personally love working with PHP because it is completely hassle free and gives enough flexibility with the syntax too. 

Anyways, in this post I would like to mention to all of you guys out there who are associated with web development that, my latest project was something quite close knit to time zones of the world. I was totally freaked out when I first understood the concept and had to start off. But, later on I figured out a simpler way to deal with time zones and several different hourly slots of the day.
