Silicon Beach Training
To start with I have about twelve different passwords just for social media, about seven for different websites that I manage, three for different forums…you get the message I have a lot of passwords to remember!
It gets even worse if you are a business engaging in social media, you want to protect your passwords but also want employees to use your social accounts.
So how do I keep track of all these online passwords?
On Friday we went along to the BrightonSEO event. We particularly enjoyed the demonstration Nikki Rae from Fresh Egg gave about Cookies.
You can read Peter Handley’s review of BrightonSEO here – and we’ll be posting more from the event on this blog later in the week. Silicon Beach Training offer a complete range of Web Design Training and Social Media Training courses.
Here’s our summary of what Cookies are – along with a clip of Nikki’s demonstration.
A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer via your web browser when you visit some websites. They store information about you like where you went and what you clicked on, which is used when you revisit the site.
Cookies can do many things – for example:
Once downloaded by your browser, a cookie will sit on your hard drive until the next time you visit the same website.
Without the cookies the web server would have no way of knowing that you had been to the site before unless you logged in with a username and password.
* Cookies allow web servers to remember you.
Here Nikki from Fresh Egg explains how Cookies work at BrightonSEO with a little help from her friends.

It’s really annoying that many Apple keyboards dont have a # hashtag. This is especially annoying when you tweet a lot and want to empahsise or tag your post with a hash tag using a Mac. If you are like me and are pretty tired of googling it every time you need to find it, or cutting and pasting an existing hash tag, I suggest using a post-it note on your monitor with the following written on it.
# = Alt + 3
€ = Alt + 2
© = Alt + G
• = Alt + 8
