Today’s featured tech tip….
This tip will make it easier to write your blog posts
Are you a blogger who gets tired of all the scrolling you have to do as you write longer and longer posts for your blog.
Well here’s a little tip that can help (a lot)…
Rotate your monitor 90 degrees into portrait mode!
That’s right, simply orient your monitor vertically instead of horizontally and you’ll be able to type and edit a lot more lines of text and include more images before you have to start doing any scrolling.
Once you have rotated your monitor into portrait mode you can go into your video card’s control panel and change the screen orientation setting from ‘Landscape’ to ‘Portrait’.
Trust me, it’s a real time-saver…
If your monitor is compatible with VESA mounting, this vertical desk mount will make it very easy to rotate your monitor.
