SENDING PAGES To Friends
The " Send This chocolate Cake Recipe to a Friend, Click Here " link doesn't work. How can I email the page to someone?
The sure way to share a page is, to start a letter to your friend the same way you normally start a letter.
Next, in the body of the letter, tell them where the cake recipes page is,
Example, See this great web site at www.recipes4chocolatecake.com ,, Look at all the healthy cake recipes.
Or another example, see all these homemade ice cream cake recipes at, http://www.recipes4chocolatecake.com/icecream/ in either case you need to copy and paste the address, or just type the page address onto your letter.
Share by sending a link to the cake recipe page by email.
To copy and paste the link into an email - When on the page you wish to send. Try one right click on the address bar in your browser, this will highlight and bring up a menu, Click the copy, next open your letter and right click in the body of the letter, do the paste and the address should be there. This works with all email programs.
In this way you will be able to share any page with ease.
General Help - We find that the windows explorer browser, works best. Explorer browsers works better than Netscape, AOL browsers. All should work great with just the standard explorer browser.
For pages that use Flash movies, go to http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
and start your free download.
AOL users can simply, after you log onto the net, minimize your AOL Netscape browser,, next open and use the explorer browser.

Q. Spy Ware, Or Why do I get pop-up adds everywhere I go?
I'm sorry to tell about this awful thing, where sites, and programs are secretly adding pop up ads to every site you ever go to. Good news is that you can remove it fairly easily. Run Ad-Aware to remove all this junk and your computer will love you for it. You only need to run this program when you think you need it.
Get Ad-Aware - Down Load Here - Its Free and Easy.
How to make a page printable.
To print a Cake Recipe, first try the print recipe only option that is located just above each recipe.
Or you can,
in your browser you will need to click on the tools tab and do the internet options, and then the advanced tab. Next you can scroll down until you see the printing option. At this point make sure that there is not a check mark on print backgrounds and images. Click on the apply button and then you will be ready to print the pages easier.
============================================================
Why don't some of the graphics show up, at Chocolate Cake Recipes?
Graphics
If the page has finished loading and you get a small red X in a space where a picture should be, First try to click Refresh/Reload on your browser.
Internet Explorer - When upgrading to a new computer of browser system you may need to download the Java software, it doesn't come in window XP. Click Here http://java.com/en/index.jsp When window opens click on the Get It Now yellow box and follow the instructions for download.
Netscape - If the JAVA applets won't load, be sure you have the option "JAVA enabled" checked . You'll find this under Edit tab,, Preferences, Click on advanced and make sure all java has been checked.
If the graphics "smear" across your screen, click Refresh/Reload on your browser. Wait for the page to completely finish loading before you scroll down the page.
============================================================
Q. Why can't I hear any music playing? Cake Recipes have no music.
Music/Midi Files
The usual problem is that there are too many music players installed, and your computer don't know which music player to use. You may have erratic behavior if you have Quicktime installed. Problems include: Only playing 1-2 seconds of each song before quitting or garbled sound when playing.
Do the following:
(1)Launch Windows Control Panel
(2)Click on the Quicktime icon
(3)Using the pull-down menu select the Browser-Plugin option
(4)In the Window, click on the option MIME settings
(5)In the next Window, scroll down until you locate lines that begin with "MIDI"
(6)Click each of the lines until the "+" disappears
(7)Click OK and close the other Windows
Windows media player will now be responsible for playing MIDI (music) files.
This should solve the problem, if not you may have another unrelated configuration problem with your computer.
Most everyone uses Windows media player. The built in windows media player is all that most people ever need. When using the Windows media player for your sound. To adjust the sound to receive midi's and mp3s. ( newer version) First click on the tools menu on the top bar of your player, ( Built in version ) Use the views menu instead, then click on the options and then click on the formats tab. You will need to make sure that all the boxes are checked for all the types of music files. Do select all. This will fix crackly, and poor quality sound. If this fails, then change all your setting to not play any sounds, and try again.
