3 Enlarge page viewing for easy reading - Zoom option A lot of us have problems reading the small fonts of most web pages but there is an easy and quick fix. This solution is for those using Microsoft IE version 10 or higher, but other browsers have similar functionality. A menu will dropdown showing you the various ZOOM options that you can select. Find the Tools icon (the little blue wheel in this picture), that is situated on the top right corner of your IE screen. Move the mouse over the option called Zoom I usually select 125, but you can go 150 or 200. Obviously the move you zoom in the more scrolling you will need to do to see the whole page. So, anytime you like to see more content on your screen you will just go back to the Zoom option and do a Zoom out or set your Zoom to 100% or maybe even 75%. Hope that Helps, enjoy. Making sure you always see the latest Web information How to make sure you see the latest versions of web pages: if you are using the IE version 10 or higher Sometime, we do not have our web browser (like IE, Firefox or other) properly setup to actually see the latest web information. In reality you see the web page that was saved on your PC the last time you visited that page! In such cases when the webmaster loads new web information, our own personal computer is still seeing the copy of the page(s) that were previously accessed 1 hour, one day or even a week before. Here is how to make sure your IE is properly setup to always see the latest info. Find the Tools icon (the little blue wheel in this picture), that is situated on the top right corner of your IE screen. Click on it and select the bottom option called Internet Options.

4 In the new screen, you will look for the Browsing history option, and select the Settings tab. In the Website Data Setting tab select Every time I visit the webpage. Next press OK on each screen when you are prompted, until all are closed. Now you can rest assured that each time you are looking at a web page, you will be seeing the latest version of info! <Return to Top>

5 Setup History retention time of accessed website links When you are in the Website Data Setting (refer above to get to the screen), select the History tab, You can set for how long your computer retains the links to pages you have visited. I like to keep them for less than a month, but you can set it as you wish. Just remember, the longer you retain a link, and the more memory space is used by your computer to keep this extra data! So, try to do not keep it for a year or more. Sending photos or other digital data Please note that when sending a document or any files to the webmaster or our staff/directors, we will accept only files, if previously agreed by or in person. These are the only documents types that you should send to us: Digital media types: pdf, jpg, small mp4 & wmv Other valid documents: doc, docx, xls, xlsx, txt When attaching any document, please use the following naming convention: CCYYMMM_Your-First-Last-Name_Documet-Title_File# Example: 2014Nov_Joe-Smith_Princess Point picture_1 This simple naming convection for pictures or documents, will help archive it properly, and when related to pictures, we will be able to give you credit for any great picture we uset. Much appreciated your webmaster <Return to Top>

6 Computer Terminologies Windows Internet Explorer (IE) IE is the short form to identify the Microsoft Internet Explorer Tab These are TABs samples, usually found on top of a page Radio Bottom These are RADIO BOTTONs samples and they are made so that you can only select one of the options offered Check Box This is a CHECK BOX sample, and you can select (set the check mark) of as many as you want. The Check Box work the opposite of Radio Bottons above. Mobile device A mobile device (also known as a handheld computer or simply handheld) is a small, handheld computing device, typically having a display screen with touch input and/or a miniature keyboard and weighing less than 2 pounds (0.91 kg). Apple, Nokia, HTC, LG, BlackBerry, and Motorola Mobility are just a few examples of the many manufacturers that produce these types of devices. PayPal Security In recent years, the government and Public CA industry have moved to more secure 2048-bit certificates for online transactions (like PayPal payments). So our HOC website is now using VeriSign new SSL certificates that have a trust chain signed by a 2048-bit G5 Root Certificate. In accordance with industry standards, PayPal certificate/trust chains are signed only by the latest G5 Root Certificate providing successful secure connections for our HOC membership payments!
