Blog Carnival of Virtual Assistants

Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Carnival of Virtual Assistants. This month we’ve had some great submissions. I am delighted to be your host for this particular session!

Do you know your computer software?
Just how much should a Virtual Assistant know and understand their computer and software? I believe it is really important that we make an effort to know and understand as much as possible about the care of our computers to keep them running at an optimum. If we were dependent on our car to make a living we should know (I believe) how to check the radiator, the oil and know when the disc pads need replacing for the brakes, i.e. we should know the warning signs and when it’s time to get a professional to do what’s needed if we don’t have that knowledge ourselves. And the same applies to our computers. We should know how to do the basics of backing up files, clearing out temp files, managing defrags and other general computing ‘housekeeping’ and other things and also to recognise the warning signs when something isn’t working as it should be.  And get a professional in if the knowledge of what to do is beyond us.

Enjoy the rest of the posts for this blog carnival below!
