Online Fad

Contributed by Milford Woods

All of my friends have been telling me I should get on Pinterest, but I am resisting. I know it’s the newest online fad, but I have looked around the site on some of my friends’ accounts, and I don’t think it’s that great. Most people pin stuff that I am not even interested in. How many fashion trends and recipes do I need to look at on a daily basis? I know it would be nice to have something to do when I am bored, but do I really need a new online obsession?

Typing Spanish Accent Marks On A Computer

Ever needed to type something in Spanish on your computer or in a word document file? Or in a vast number of programs? Some examples of these accents are:

• Niño
• Mañana
• ¿Como Estas?

These are simple Spanish words/phrases that carry accents in them...
A tedious way of achieving these characters are by copy pasting them in. A smarter way of doing this is by installing a Spanish Keyboard which will allow you to use accent marks in any program... this is available for Windows only though. Fortunately for MACs, accented characters are embedded into the operating systems. This is very good.

Here is the webpage that you may use as your guide and reference to achieve Spanish accent characters:
