Social Bookmarks                             Computer Shortcuts

My Diigo Site

Had I known about social bookmarking earlier in my career, I feel I would have been viewed as a rockstar.  Alas, most people social bookmark and now I'm just another face on the train.  It's still worth every tag, highlight and bookmark.  Like a junkie, I'm hooked.  I've even started to bookmark sites I know I'll have to reorganize later.

Shortcuts

I think everyone knows ctrl c, v, x, s
Did you know that F7 in Word is the shortcut to spellcheck?
Did you know that F12 is a shortcut to 'Save As'? 
So much time could have been saved.  Lives lived more fully.  I'm adding information from a document I got in class.  I didn't make it- I'm just sharing it.  Passing it on.  You'll be surprised how many there are!
