I need to clean up a few rough edges over the next few days, but the site is far enough along that I moved over to it today. I redesigned the site for a few reasons:
- Make it easier to navigate (cleaner),
- Make it easier for you to interact with the site via comments, RSS and search.
- Make it easier for me to post even more content
- Make it easier to add new features to the site without cluttering up the navigation.
I believe that I’ve met all these goals with the new design and engine (WordPress). All the content from the old site is here, but if you encounter any problems or dead ends, please alert them to me by leaving a comment or contacting me via the new “ask a question” link at the top of all pages.
The new newsletter deliver system will be online by tomorrow as well.
Thanks for all your support. Enjoy, learn and explore the new site and always remember to spread the word about HelpMeRick.com!

The new site is great…sorry u’v had such a hard time. We are all patient, as you have help us all for a very long time. Thanks for your expertise and putting up with all the questions (some dumb, and some not so dumb)!
Thanks Bella! I’m hoping that the new design and information will better help everyone.
Minor technical flaw.
The poll results are shown as tenth percent, but rounded to the nearest whole percent.
I like it! (41.0%, 33 Votes) Total Voters: 80
Should be 41.3%.
Darn it…I will get the math department on it!
Things are looking good here! Congrats! I’m not so sure about the new logo — unless you’re a Cubs fan, but it makes more sense than the microphone nowadays.
Thanks again for the great resource you provide here!
Didn’t even think of the Cubs logo. The design service came up with that and I liked it. It’s supposed to be two C’s and an O…Castellini ON Computers.
Thanks!
I caught that CoC, and it reminded me of the Cubs, too.
Hi Rick,
I like your new format. It seems cleaner. In addition, I love the pix you’re using. They really seem to fit the subject matter so very well.
Happy Day toya!
Thank you…I’m working hard to make it as simple, yet presentable as possible.
Sept 2008 I purchesed AVGn 8.5 with a 2 year agrement. I purchesed it at a electronic store. License is to expire 9/30/2010.
It telling me now that my liecense has expiried. I try to call the 866 number that is given to me but i get the run around. what bo I do.
The only advice I can give you is to try their “instant” support at http://www.avg.com/support or the 866-574-6934 number.
How can I unlock the location of the Recycle Bin. I would like to keep it in lower right hand corner of the screen but every time I ry to move it, it jumps back to the top left of my screen? Thanks for you help.
Please email the answer if you can,
Thanks,
Bob Carpenter
Try RIGHT Clicking on a blank part of your desktop, then uncheck the auto arrange option and you will be able to move your icons anywhere you like.
Rick, Thanks for the tip. It does the trick. I got my recycle bin where I want it.
