One of our most popular blogs addresses how to increase the size of your screen font. It's a simple fix for a frustrating problem: Screen Font Too Small?
Some of the many, many people who have commented on that blog post requested additional information, and I'm working on it. Wayne Embrey of Nerds Computer Services in Mountain Home was nice enough to help out with this new article, How to Change Your Screen Font.
Thanks, Wayne!

Did you know Nicholas Cage has a GED? So does Eminem. Michael J. Fox has one, too. There are a lot of very successful people who dropped out of high school for a variety of good reasons, later earned a GED, and went on to do some pretty great stuff.
Mary Lou Retton has one. Remember the Olympian? So does Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's.
If you dropped out of high school, it's never too late to earn your GED and do whatever you dream of.
Need some inspiration:

I wondered where this idiom originated. It's difficult to pin down. And then I put on a pair of rose-colored glasses. I was stunned.
I added my experience to our Today I Learned... collection: Today I Learned...About Rose-Colored Glasses.
