Online Security
One of the most important things about online security is having a good password, but many think the password is not as important as it really is. Though secure networks, and keeping things to yourself is important, the content of a password is one of the most vital things that a person should take care of and should guard. The biggest problem seems to be that people don’t think that having personal passwords is a bad thing, and coming in a close second is not changing passwords often enough.
When passwords are issued by sites, most are complicated and many don’t make sense. They are often hard to memorize. This is why so many switch them to things that they remember easily and that are very personal. That is a huge mistake. Anyone who uses birthdates or words that remind them of family or their favorite things are asking for trouble. Anyone who knows just a little about a person could figure out these passwords rather easily, and that makes online security a joke.
When someone has the same password for a year, it is vulnerable. This is why many times one of the first things recommended by any site (when talking about online security) is to change the password quite often. This should be something that is done once a week, but even I don’t do that. Once a month is better, though not ideal. It might seem like a pain to change the passwords for all accounts all of the time, it is one thing that can really help online security of personal accounts and financial information like bank or credit card statements.
When it comes to online security, it is essential to make up passwords that have both letters and numbers that mean nothing to you. That way it will be harder for anyone to guess. It is surprising how easy some passwords tend to be. Coming up with unpleasant words and a series of numbers that mean nothing and mixing them together is probably one of the best ways to be sure the password is more secure. That, along with changing the password each week can be two of the best tools in online security for everyone. When teaching children about being online, setting hard passwords might confuse them, but they can be written down for that purpose. They can learn to memorize harder ones later on down the line.

Free Online Greeting Cards
Free Online Greeting Cards
I had always thought that online greeting cards were kind of stupid until I got one myself. I couldn't really stand the thought of an online greeting card, in fact. As much as traditional birthday cards, get well soon cards, and other mass manufactured Hallmark greetings seemed insincere, online greeting cards seemed like the worst. Instead of sending greeting cards online, why not just send out a quick e-mail saying hello to someone and asking them out for drinks after work? It seemed much more sincere than an online greeting card, and it didn't take any more time. After all, online animated greeting cards are not all that clever – they are just an excuse to not have to say anything real.
When one of my friends sent me an online birthday greeting card, however, it really cheered me up. It wasn't just because it was an online greeting card. It was just that I really needed a personal message from a friend. It was about par for online greeting cards – it had a cute, smiley-face-type animation, some cute little pun, and a space where you could write your own personal message. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it, but nonetheless it was touching. I guess it meant a lot to me to be remembered that year. A few of my friends had forgotten to even call me, and I had received no other cards.
Getting that online greeting card really made me feel a little bit better about the birthday. It made me stop thinking about how much older I was getting and start thinking about how lucky I was to have so many friends who cared about me. I suppose that online greeting cards are like any other means of expressing human affection. It isn't so much what they say or how they are delivered as that they are given out. Online greeting cards show someone that you are thinking about them, that they matter to you, and that they are worth the effort.
Ever since that day, I have been sending online greeting cards out to people. I admit that sometimes I do a little bit too much, but I think my friends know where my heart lies. It is better to come across as a little cliché and show people that you love them then to neglect people who might be looking for a little bit of attention to cheer them up.
