Based on click-through, that was my most popular newsletter of the year! For those who havent seen it, the handout from that edition of the newsletter is included listed below.

These are the 6 things to try:

An easy way to discover out is to check out downforeveryoneorjustme.com then go into the URL of the website youre trying to utilize. If youre familiar with the Windows command terminal you can likewise attempt pinging the address of the site youre attempting to use.

This isnt as common as it utilized to be, but in some instances of a website not working appropriately the cause can be traced to utilizing a dated variation of a web browser.

3. Do you have cookies enabled? Many sites need cookies in order to provide you the very best possible experience.

4. Are you utilizing a pop-up blocker? It is not uncommon for a site to utilize a pop-up window for account log-ins. If the pop-up is blocked, you wont have the ability to log-in.
