I was looking at my keyboard here in the office when I noticed the text printed on the underside of the keys. It shows common keyboard shortcuts.
Users of Windows OS may have familiarized themselves with keyboard shortcuts and the true functions of the function (F) keys. I don’t know of anyone who are new to Windows-based system, except those who embraced the freedom of Unix/Linux while they were young or those who are Mac advocates.
Here are some of the few commonly used keyboard shortcuts when you type in a text editor or browse in your browser.
For Function Keys
F1 = is usually for Help
F2 = is Rename (highlight a file then press)
F3 = is for Find function, same with CTRL+F
ALT+F4 = closes current active Window
F5 = Refresh, same with CTRL+R
F6 = used on browsers, moves the cursor and highlights the text at the URL address bar (same with CTLR+L).
F8 = When you boot your computer, pressing F8 before Windows starts, it will load a selective menu.
F11 = Switches browser window to full screen
For text higlighting
SHIFT+Home = Select all chars to the left of the cursor position
SHIFT+End = Select all chars to the right of the cursor position
SHIFT+PageUp = Select all chars to the left and above the cursor position
SHIFT+PageDown = Select all chars to the right and below the cursor position
CTRL+A = Select all text
TAB = moves cursor focus
SHIFT+TAB = moves cursor focus in reverse
For text editing, after highlighting
CTRL+X = Cut
CTRL+C = Copy
CTRL+V = Paste
CTRL+B = Bold
CTRL+U = Underline
CTRL+I = Italics
For document commands
CTRL+N = New document or file

Ok so this is the first time I’m going to write about SEO and website marketing or any of that stuff. I don’t really like talking about it since I’m not an SEO expert.
A couple of weeks ago I just noticed that after my experience in the SEO team; every time I create or design a website, I always make sure it is “SEO friendly”. It is somewhat important if you want your site to be visible on the Internet. Remember there are millions of websites on the information superhighway.
My previous work (which I left last year) started my awareness regarding SEO. I was a web developer there, but with my inclusion on the SEO team, I started to learn more about the trade.
SEO is important in most websites specially on sites that sell something, either a service or a product. Let me give you a basic example situation, where SEO is best applied.
Example you are looking for a particular product on the Internet, let’s say a bouquet of flowers. But not just an ordinary bunch of flowers, you want tulips that are red. So what do you do to find a place where you can get it from. You search…
You go to a search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN Live), then type in your keywords and keyphrases… flowers bouquet tulips red… and then after you hit search, you see the search engines result pages (SERPs).
You found a couple of links (websites), and visited each one on the first page. And then you found a good website that sells and delivers a bouquet of red tulips. You ordered some at their website and have it delivered. And the owner of the website profited.
You see, websites that appear on the first few pages of SERPs are the ones often visited by web surfers. If you are running a business and want people to find your site, your page should show up at least on the first few pages of SERPs. If you’ve tried doing a search on the Internet, you may notice that most people don’t usually go past the first 3 to 5 pages of the results. They usually end up on websites that appear on the first or second page. So the question is how will your website appear near the top results? Do SEO on your website.
