How to Choose a Website Host
The first step in launching a website is to choose a website host to connect your site to the internet. You can purchase a package that offers hosting along with a pre-developed website template, but for the most flexibility (or if you need capabilities that the typical DIY package does not offer), you may need to select a stand-alone Web hosting provider.
How do you decide? There are literally thousands of Web hosting providers, from huge household names to small start-up resellers. Choosing the wrong host could prove disastrous to your business if the company does not provide the right level of service. Therefore, it is important to take all of the appropriate steps when choosing a website host.
How to Send a Fax Without a Fax Machine
Fax machines are rather antiquated technology, but all the doctors offices and businesses that are stuck in the 1980’s and still use them make life difficult for the rest of us. I used to make trips to the public library to fax required documents for job interviews, medical forms, and more. Fortunately, you can now send a fax without a fax machine through Google Docs.
HelloFax is a add-on for Google Docs that lets you send and receive faxes. You can send up to five pages for free, but after that, you will need to pay a monthly subscription fee. You will also need a paid account if you want to set up a fax number to allow you to receive faxes. Here’s how to use it.

How to Install Pinterest Share Button for Firefox
Pinterest is a popular site for organizing ideas, recipes, vacation spots, articles, and more.

If you are a frequent pinterest user, I highly recommend downloading a web extension to let you pin items to your boards from anywhere, without having to open Pinterest in your browser. These extensions are available in most browsers, including Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Chrome. This tutorial will walk you through how to set up the Share Button for Pinterest Firefox add-on.
