Blogging with WordPress

Hello, everyone.
I’ve just added a new tutorial page to the course notes section.
It is the second in a series of tutorials I want to write about blogging with WordPress. In the first in the series, we learned how to create a blog. In the second part, we learn how to log in to the blog we created in part 1, and how to change some of our blog’s basic settings.
In part 3, we’ll find out how to write a post.
The link to the new tutorial is

Good morning, everyone.
Now that the Teruko Ikeda ICT training has finished for another year, I think it’s time to remind you all about the support email list.
All of the former trainees are members of this list, and many of them now know a lot about computer software and hardware.
If this year’s trainees have any questions or need help, please write a message to the support list. Someone will certainly be happy to help you.
Please write to the following email address to send a message to the list:

Running Ubuntu Linux from a USB thumb drive

Good evening.
Since my last post about using Ubuntu Linux with the Orca screen reader, I’ve found out that it’s also possible to run Ubuntu from a USB thumb drive.
If you want to experience working with Ubuntu but you don’t want to install it, then this method might be for you.
You can find detailed instructions about how to set up a thumb drive for Ubuntu by clicking this link.
The good thing about running Ubuntu from a thumb drive is that you can do it from Windows.

Using Skype on more than one computer

Hello, everyone.
Some of you have asked if you can use Skype on more than one computer. For example, on your laptop and on a desktop at work.
The answer is yes, you certainly can.
All you have to do is

1. download Skype from
   the Skype web site

2. Install it
3. Log in using your Skype username and password.

If you do this, then all of your contacts will appear on your new computer.
I use Skype on three computers, and it works well.
