How to add Gmail and Yahoo accounts in Windows 8 Mail

Note: This post was written in 2012 for Windows 8 Mail. Windows 8 reached end of support in 2016, and the Mail app has since been replaced by the Outlook app in Windows 11. These steps no longer apply to modern Windows. Windows 8's Mail app has a fresh, modern look and works great if you're signed in with a Microsoft account — your Hotmail or Outlook mail shows up automatically. But it also supports Gmail and Yahoo accounts, which is handy. Here's how to set them up. Step 1: Sign in to the Windows 8 Mail app with your Microsoft account. If you don't have one, sign up — you don't need a new email address, you can use your existing one.

Redirecting www To non-www And Vice Versa

Note: This post was written in 2012. The .htaccess rules below still work on Apache servers, but modern setups (NGINX, Caddy, Apache 2.4 with virtual hosts) handle redirects differently. The rules also use http:// — update them to https:// for any SSL-enabled site. Every domain can be accessed through two different URLs. Take example.com — it's reachable as both example.com and www.example.com. The same applies to subdomains. From a user's point of view this doesn't matter much, but from an SEO standpoint it's a problem. Having the same content available on two different URLs can be flagged as duplicate content and hurt your search rankings.

Note: This post was written in 2012. Facebook's interface has changed significantly since then, and these steps no longer apply. Today you can delete photos from your Profile Pictures or Cover Photos album directly without any workaround. Facebook — you've been using it for a while now, and chances are your Profile Pictures and Cover Photos albums are filled with old images you'd rather get rid of.

Creating A Simple Database Application In Visual Studio ’10 (Drag & Drop Way)

Note: This post was written in 2012 for Visual Studio 2010. The .sdf (SQL Server Compact) format used here has since been discontinued by Microsoft and is no longer supported in modern Visual Studio versions. If you're starting fresh today, consider SQLite, LocalDB, or SQL Server Express instead. There are already thousands of tutorials on the web for this kind of thing, and most of them are unnecessarily complicated. They use too many columns and too much code, which just ends up confusing beginners. So I'm going to show you how to build your first database VB app the simple way — three columns only (ID, Name, City), and almost everything done through drag and drop. No heavy coding needed. Steps Since we're building a Windows Forms application, choose Windows Forms Application as the project template. I've named the project dbapp, but you can call it whatever you like.
