    We've been writing a lot of How-To's that you can view at http://www.majorgeeks.com/content/overview/how_to.html

    Any page on MajorGeeks has a built-in Google search in the top right corner to see if there's already a how-to for your issue.

    Finally, there are social media share links on each of these stories so feel free to share some of our how-to's.

    Thanks!

    Wow! Those are some really nice, and easy to follow tips/tutorials. Thanks.

    If there is one thing I would like to see added to them, it is a time stamp of some sort. For me, it is always nice to see when something was written, or last updated. It might help some to see if it still applies or not, like the tip to bring back the old Windows Defender style on W10 - which does not work on the latest versions of Windows (which everyone should be up too).

    Catch 22. Google keeps changing how they rank. One thing they suddenly don't like is dates, so you will find them missing often. Another thing you might have noticed is the length of many articles out there. Google decided more words is better currently. This is why you see so many long articles where what you're looking for is one paragraph mixed in with 6 pointless paragraphs.

    I was not aware of the dates issue. Not understanding the date issue since users can easily tell Google to hit on a specific time range from the last hour to last year to a custom range. Otherwise, points taken.
    Yeah, I have noticed that. And sadly, much of that space is taken up with verbatim quotes from the original source (often with no crediting citations too :().

    So okay. Thanks for explaining. No objections to you deleting my two posts and your reply to keep your announcement thread "clean".

    I didn't know about the issue of the dates. Not understanding the date issue since clients can without much of a stretch advise Google to hit on a particular time go from the most recent hour to a year ago to a custom range.
