In light of our series on Writers and Technology, we’d like to open the blogging floor for some of your questions. If you have a question about technology, writing, and publishing, you can submit a question to our very own Hunk-A-Burnin’-Geek at Relief (i.e. Coach). Later in the series, Coach will blog answers to some of the more popular or pertinent technology questions we receive. Some of you know that Coach is a 10-year veteran of the computer industry, and currently produces some of the Best Computer Training On The Planet at Trainsignal.com. Feel free to get as basic or as technical as you like--somebody out there has the exact same question, so not only are you helping yourself, but also your colleagues! Click here to submit your questions now! We start out with a question we've received several times over the last couple of months since we've upgraded the site. Click Read More to find out what it is! Why can't I see this site or others like I should on my computer? What's wrong with your site? Should I get a new computer?Hunk-A-Burning-Geek Says: While getting a new computer certainly won't hurt anything, it's not necessary. Internet technology continues to move forward whether we do or not, and there's new techniques in Web design and programming like what we use on this site that older Web Browser software can't keep up with. Try upgrading your Web Browser to Internet Explorer 7 , or better yet, use the Web Browser that geeks have been using for a long time: FireFox. If you're still using Internet Explorer 6 (or *shudder* version 5), you'll probably have a tough time seeing a lot of newer sites, or won't be able to use a lot of the cool functionality they have to offer. FireFox and IE 7 are both free downloads. Even Mac users can get FireFox, although Safari, the default Mac browser, is pretty solid nowadays as well, and is now available for Windows users as well. In any case, an occasional Web Browser upgrade will not only boost your Web viewing experience, but also your security while you're browsing the web. Older browsers are more susceptible to drive-by downloads, hijacks, bad cookies, and those really annoying pop-up ads that spawn more and more as you close each one. Keep your machine safer and more capable by keeping your Web Browser application up to date. Just take a few minutes to download and install a new Browser and watch your experience improve!
