LMGTFY

Many in this community love to share what they know to help others. But have you ever come across that person who now OFTEN just goes to you without even trying to help themself. And of course because we love to help we drop what we're doing to go down the "rabbit hole" to fetch the carrot for them. Have you ever just wanted to say "_Google it_"

There is an old saying......... Give a man a fish and he will feed his family for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he will feed his family forever

Well the LMGTFY (Let Me Google That For You) link will allow you to help now and also discretely (or not) show them how to help themselves in the future.

This link http://lmgtfy.com/?iie=1&q= with the search query after the = sign yields a unique result.

For example if some asks "how to catch a fish", again, simply insert the query after the second = sign with no spaces and it yields this unique result. Here try out this link or add your own search query after the = sign.

Happy Fishing.

Michael Daniels ~ Man on the Go ogle.

Michael Daniels ~ Man on the Go ogle.

Well another year and no invitation for me to the Google Summit. If you didn’t get one either, to need to fret. Our Man on the go Michael Daniels has us covered. Michael woke up at 5:00 AM this morning to fly all the way across the country. Upon his arrival he will step out of his comfort zone as he realizes that things are not “Always Eastern” (EST).

Where Michael is always in his comfort zone is, sharing his experiences and knowledge to help others. This week he will be sharing his videos (Smoven & Smoozen) as he joins with other top contributors at the #Googlesummit to keep us up to date. NDA’s permitting of course. I hope you will join me in the comments to wish Michael a great trip full of fun and info.

h/t to Michael for taking time out to share. Let’s encourage him (like he need encouragement. Right?) by following him on his YouTube Channel. If you're on Google and not already subscribed to him, well you probably should be clicking on this link right away.

Don’t forget to turn on your notifications and join him when he goes live. He would love to see you in the comments.

Are Your Replies To WordPress Comments Even Being Seen?

You have a WordPress Website and you reply to everyone’s comments. Right? It’s important to you. Right? Did you know that the person who left the comment may never see your reply? Especially if you have been making the same mistake that I have. You can easily be fooled, I know I was.

In the article below I will share the false assumption that I was making and apparently many others are as well. Also, I will walk you through how to set your comment preferences, as well as provide some suggestions you might consider for managing your replies to comments on your WordPress Website.

Partying Words and Parting Words.

As we prepare to say goodbye to the Google Events Pages, I can’t help but to be thankful to Google for offering this platform (for free, like so many other of their products) where so many have built an online reputation based on engagement with like minded people, friends, and potential customers. I am especially grateful for all of the great friends I have made over the past few years thanks to HOA’s.

Thanks also to this User2User-Live Community for being there throughout, helping all of us newbies and veterans make sense of the process, and yes all of the changes too. I know the community will remain active in the effort to help members make the transition. Actively working on solutions to chat issues and answering the many questions. I am, as I am sure we all are, thankful for all that you do, not just as outstanding individuals but as a group. Keep up the great work.

But now it’s time to kiss the event page goodbye. I hope to see all of you folks on the other side. The YouTube Live Event (YTLE) Side.

Wishing our very own Michael Daniels a very Happy Birthday.

Hey guys, does anyone use Windows Movie Maker to do their video editing?

Hey guys, does anyone use Windows Movie Maker to do their video editing? I am trying to figure out how to remove the original audio track (wind noise in this case) to be replaced with music track. I know how to add but can't figure out how to get rid of the original. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, it was an honor for me to wake up this morning and find I had been accepted into this community.

Hi Everyone, it was an honor for me to wake up this morning and find I had been accepted into this community.

I have been on Google+ for about five months now and have been welcomed with open arms. I have connected with quite a few people that have not only been helpful in my beginning to learn the ropes, but also seem eager to see me find my niche and succeed. Every one of those people is a member of this community, therefore my decision to be a part of a community whose only agenda is to help people was a no brainer.

I have learned so much from members here already, but also realize in the ever expanding Googleverse there will always be new things and a learning curve. I do hope to make HOA's a part of my plan soon and know there is no better group of combined minds then right here in the User2User Community. I hope to learn much from you all and look forward to one day being able to pay it forward to the next generation of newbies like myself.
