How to Change or Create Password in Windows 8




If you're still using the earlier versions of Windows then you may thought creating or changing a password in Windows 8 is same as previous versions. But those who are working with Windows 8 know that this is not same at all. 

When you are installing Windows 8 for the first time then you can set a password at the end of the installation process. If you skip that step during the time of installation then you will have to set it from the PC settings. 

In earlier versions of Windows password can be managed from a control panel item named User Accounts. This item is still available. But you can't manage your password from here. Today I will show you the easiest way to do this task. 

Remember: Your Windows should be genuine or it may ask you to activate windows while doing this task. So, if you have any problem regarding activation then visit: Windows 8 Activation Process
  1. Press Start + W > type Password > select Change your password. Or you can simply press the Start button and click on user icon from the top right corner. Then choose Change account picture and choose Users. Both do the same job. 
  2. Now as you can see in the image below, hit on the Change your password under the sign in option. Click on it to change. 
  3. Now you can change or create your password from here as you did in earlier versions. 
  4. You can also set a picture password from here. Do it with caution if you're a beginner! 
You can also change your password in running condition if forgotten !! Visit here to know more: Change Windows Password if Forgotten

Join Google Plus Community with Over 500 Million People!





The number of Google + users is being increased rapidly. And I've already posted twice on Google Plus. You can have a look if didn't read this before- 
Today's post is just a follow up of the previous posts. Many of you may be interested to know - How many users does Google + has currently? The answer is bewildering! 

500 Million +


Can you imagine? 500 Million users within less than 2 years! Google + was launched on June 28, 2011. And on December 06, 2012 Google announced that their total users are more than 500 million. Source: Google Official Blog.

It is also said that only 135 million people are active in the Google Plus Stream. And 235 are active through Google. And others are not very active. Even people don't share too much status updates like Twitter or Facebook

Though Google Plus is growing very fast but number of active users are not growing in that rate. I think these are the reasons behind this inactive users:
  • Most of the people are already in Facebook with their friends or society. They love to share their views or opinions in one place.
  • Many users try to stay on Google Plus. But when they found that their friends are using only Facebook, the switch there to get connected.
  • Another reason is the interface. Plus has an interface that is very rich but not user friendly. And people have already liked the Facebook interface. So they don't feel easy with Google Plus.
  • Delay in loading the site is another important cause. The loading time of Facebook is very fast. But Google Plus is a heavy site. When browsing from a slow connection it irritates the users! That's why Google Plus is not very popular in the third world countries where net connection is not faster. 

But Google Plus has few advantages too:
  • Google is integrated with all services of Google- YouTube, Gmail, Blogger etc.
  • Unlike Facebook it is not restricted in schools, colleges, universities or Offices! 
  • While opening a new Gmail account, users are asked to upgrade in Google Plus.
  • New features are adding based on user demands.

How to Create Menu or Tabs in Blogger Blog?




I'm gonna post a new topic after a long break. I'm very sorry for those people are looking for new topics. Actually I was not getting new ideas. If someone is looking for a specific content then he might use this option to inform Marks PC Solution. 



OK let's start our today's concern. This post is specially helpful for blogger users who are trying to set Tabs in their blogs. And many of you may not know that there are two ways for creating tabs. I'm gonna discuss about both the methods one by one. 

Tips for Blogger


Method 1: 
This system is powered by blogger itself. This system allows you to create stand alone pages in your blog. Stand alone means you can only post a single topic in this page. For example, Contact Us or Report Us etc. This system may be less popular but still useful for creating a single but important post. 

To add Tabs in this system follow the instructions below: 
  1. Sign in to your blogger dashboard. 
  2. Now click on the Pages button from the left panel.
  3. If you didn't create any pages earlier then you will see only Home button.
  4. Look at the option Show pages as- Choose Top Tabs.
  5. Click on the New Page button to create a new page and choose Blank Page.
  6. You can arrange the position of the pages by dragging them



Remember, when you click on Blank Page from the New Page option immediately it will take to a new page. You should give a name of the page here. You can also write the contents of that page from here or you can just save it and write the contents later. 


Note: You can also add a web link in the tabs if you choose Web Address instead of Blank Page from the New Page option. 


Method 2: 
This system is somewhat complicated if you're new in blogging. But if you can do it then your blog will be just like a website! In this system your visitor will be able to find multiple posts under each tabs! You can do it just by placing the labels of your posts at the top. Follow the instructions below: 
  1. Sign in to your blogger account.
  2. Now go to the Layout option from the left panel.
  3. Click Add a Gadget from the top. (Or you must drag and place it just below the Header) 
  4. Choose Labels Gadget.
  5. Now click on Selected Labels from the show option and hit the edit button.
  6. Choose the labels from the box below. Never choose more than 8 or 9. Make sure that they can appear within a single line. Otherwise it may create a 2-line tab. That looks very odd. 
  7. After selecting the labels hit on Done button and save the gadgets. Now view your blog.
You must remember:
  • Your posts should be labeled properly to appear in the proper tabs.
  • Labels gadget must be place under the header of the blog.
