IT Tips – June 2014

The best part of the year is beginning in the Shire. The sun is warm and the mountains are green.

Table of Contents Overhaul

As time ticks by, I realize more and more how difficult it is to navigate the Table of Contents page. The brief descriptions can be confusing; I don’t think many people understand the terminology on the page.

As usual, I have come up with a better way (at least I think I have – go me)!!

Thank god. Your Table of Contents page was garbage.

Sheesh. Why don’t you tell me how you really feel?

I have redesigned the table of contents to be much more verbose. The list of simple (and ambiguous) descriptions have been replaced with an assortment of relatable questions. The main IT Tips page can now be referred to as the IMC IT Tips Frequently Asked Questions page (FAQ for short)!

That’s right, when you navigate to http://Iredaleittips.blogspot.com you will be presented with the shiny new FAQ page.

Awesome, how does it work?!

The FAQ page is simply a list of frequently asked questions. The questions are hyperlinked and will take you to a related blog post with a simple click of the mouse.

For example:

“CRM Outlook Client (Set Regarding)” on the Table of Contents page has been replaced with “Where did my set regarding buttons go?” on the FAQ page.

Where applicable, I have also created multiple questions for the same topic. This is very useful because not everyone asks the same question for the same problem. For instance, you will also notice this related question on the FAQ page: “Where did my CRM buttons go?” This will point to the same IT Tip about the CRM Outlook Client.

Here is an image of the FAQ page:

Why are you looking at this picture when
you could just visit the page?!

Tell me more, magic man!

Don’t mind if I do!

I have also kept the Table of Contents page intact for those of you who did find it useful (not everyone thinks is garbage!). I even added a link to the top-right of each page which will allow you to toggle back and forth between them.

You can also get back to the FAQ page at any time by clicking on "IT Tips of the Month" at the top of the blog.

Best of all, I will be updating each page as future tips roll out! I hope this makes your lives a bit easier.

Have a great month, everyone!
