Thanks again Sandy – another episode will arrive momentarily. I have been very pleased with Thunderbird. It is very easy to use if you are managing multiple accounts.

Hi Char,

Love your series.

I took time to read this again and found the info on Thunderbird. I’ve been struggling with my email and this might be the answer I’m looking for.

I’m also looking forward to checking out Awstats.

Thanks for the tips.
Sandy

Honestly, I use my Mac for doing print design, some web surfing, Skype, and some games. I do the bulk of my web design and internet marketing work on my Dell. My laptop gets used for e-mail, surfing, some blogging, and some web updates.

It probably seems extremely inefficient, but it is a system that has evolved over time and just works for me.

Thanks for your personal sharing – such useful info. Just a quick qn: What is your experience using Mac platform for web and internet marketing? I have a iBook and PC laptop but favour my Mac more. Trouble is I’m faced with compatibility issues on some software esp ftp. Yes, I do like Firefox too.

Mel – thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try that one since I have Firefox on multiple computers in this house and I work on three in any given day.

Good topic. You convinced me to download Thunderbird. Although I can see any of my accounts. I’ll have to fiddle.

Another Plus I wanted to add to your list for day to day things is Firefox portable. ( mini firefox for portable applications) http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

I can take my bookmarks, bookmark sites, anywhere including passwords to forums etc. It all goes on my little data stick. So no matter which computer I am on I have all my things at my fingertips.

This works out very well as the computers at home get formatted a lot so I don’t lose things I had saved in some random place.

Yeah! That is cool and I am so glad you have decided to jump in to the blogging arena. You will be amazed at how much you learn and how fast you learn it!

I learned about MyBlogLog from your post and followed that link. I did my very first HTML when I installed the statistic script to my Blog. Yeah! It works!

I use Firefox, too. It is great. I use Outlook now after using Thunderbird because Outlook is on my cell phone organizer and that makes it easy to synchronize.
