Convection oven models are different and these steps may differ from the model that you own. Look for the owners or instruction manual that you got with your convection oven. If you don't have it, use a search engine to see if you can find an online version of the manual. Set your oven to the convection setting by pressing the button or turning a dial to convection. Some appliances will also have a convection bake or roast setting. Use the setting that applies to the food you plan on cooking.  If you're making cookies, cakes, or pies, you should set the oven to convection bake. If you're cooking a pot roast or turkey, you should set the oven to convection roast. Since convection ovens cook your food more evenly than a traditional oven, you should reduce the temperature. Look at the recipe that you’re cooking and reduce the temperature to 25°F (14°C) less than what the recipe calls for. Input your cooking temperature into the keypad or turn the dial to the appropriate temperature. Some appliances will automatically adjust the temperature for convection cooking. Refer to the user's manual to see if your oven automatically adjusts the temperature. Some ovens will automatically raise the temperature as you increase it and others require you to hit the "Start" button. After hitting the "Start" button, the oven should begin to rise in temperature. Your oven should beep or an indicator light should come on when it’s reached the desired temperature. Your convection should now be preheated.

Summary: Read the oven’s instruction manual. Press the convection button or turn the dial to convection. Preheat to 25°F (14°C) below the conventional oven temperature. Press the "Start" button. Wait for the oven to beep or for an indicator light to come on.


If your doll gets dirty, do not put it in the bathtub. Instead, use baking soda. Use a damp washcloth and rub on the powder. Then use a dry towel to wipe it all off.[citation needed] Undress your doll. Take a baby wipe, and put some disinfecting hand sanitizer on it. Rub it in, then rub this wipe all over your doll until she is slightly wet all over. Let her dry (it should only take a few minutes) then dress her.

Summary: Clean the doll. If the doll came from a thrift store and you want to disinfect her (you never know how much dirt and baby slobber could have gotten on her), try this trick.


The needs of your website will dictate what kind of hosting service you should be looking for. If you intend to do business through your website, you’ll need to make sure that the host supports online stores. If you want to create a wiki, there are a variety of free wiki hosts that specialize in creating and maintaining wikis. If you want a blog, blogging sites can get you set up in just a few minutes. There are a lot of options out there; some great, some poor, some cheap, some expensive; so it's worth spending some time comparing features. Most offer limited services for free sites and typically place advertisements on your site. Your website will most likely also be a subdomain of the host site instead of its own site (e.g. yoursite.host.com instead of yoursite.com). Some of the more popular free hosting sites include:   Wordpress; great for blogs, small to medium-sized websites of all kinds  Drupal; great for medium to large-sized websites Webs Angelfire Google Sites Webnode Wix Zoho Sites Wikia; great for wikis Each host will offer different services at the free level. Most hosts have a limit on how much data you can upload for your webpage, and this is typically very limited. This means that if you intend to have a media-rich site with images and video, you may not be able to effectively use a free site.  Different free hosts have different policies regarding creating online stores. If you intend to create an e-commerce website, ensure that the service you pick can adequately support your goals. Most free hosts have low bandwidth limits as well. This means they don’t work very well as file hosts, as downloading files can quickly max your data allowance. Check to see if the host allows you to upload your own websites. Most free services have web page creation tools and don’t allow you to upload your own custom code. This works for most basic needs, but if you want to be able to create your own site, make sure that the host allows it. Browse through the available pre-made themes (sometimes called 'templates' or 'styles'); you can use the software's own available themes, as well as browse theme-selling marketplace websites like Theme Forrest. Many hosts have specialized designs for their sites that help maintain a brand identity with that host. Find the design that fits your website’s needs the most. Even if the service is for free, the business has to make money to provide it to you; it might use adverts, or it might try to entice you to upgrade to get more features, which might come at a significant monthly cost. Whichever one you choose, make sure you know how much it might cost in the future if you decide to upgrade to get more features.

Summary: Ask yourself what kind of website you want to have. Find a free online website-building service. Compare service features. Choose a theme that suits you or your business. Consider how much it will cost you.


Wood is a natural decoration that adds to your aquarium's look. Algae that grows on the surface of wood can provide food for certain kinds of fish. Driftwood is a popular choice because of its twisting shape. You can sew carpet moss onto a piece of driftwood to combine wood and plant life, making the tank more resemble a natural underwater habitat. Boil any structure you plan to put in the tank in water before introducing it to your tank. Boiling will sterilize your wood or rock to make it safe for your aquarium. Boiling wood will kill any bacteria on it and remove tannins that can stain the water. Fish will also often hide behind rocks. Rocks have a variety of shapes and colors, so you can look for rocks that you think add to your overall theme. Choose rocks that speak to your sense of style.  Avoid having large rocks directly touch the glass. Over time, the rocks may damage the glass, causing stress fractures or cracks.  After boiling rocks, soak them overnight and then brush them to remove loose particles. These can include the typical castles and pirate treasure, or you can go for something more imaginative. Consider getting a few decorations in different sizes to provide different territories. Like plants, structures give fish hiding places that they enjoy. Some structures can add oxygen to the water. Be very careful when buying decorations with holes or small spaces. While these can be ideal hiding places for smaller fish, larger fish can become stuck and get injured or even die trying to get out. Be sure any hole or archway is significantly larger than your largest fish. If you have young fish, keep in mind their full grown size when picking out such decorations. Experiment with the placement of your decorations to find something that is aesthetically pleasing to you. Having one main decoration that is larger than everything else can provide a good focal point, but also make sure it won't crowd your tank. Balance items with empty space. If one side of your aquarium is going to face a wall, consider attaching a background to it. These simple sheets of plastic can be bought at any pet store, and come printed with beautiful pictures, from undersea plants to deserts. A simple black background will lend a very professional look, hiding cords and tubing and making the colors in your aquarium stand out, especially if you have a lot of plants. If your aquarium is looking a little sparse, a background printed with plants or coral reefs can give the impression of a much lusher environment.  Choose a background that fits your theme. An image of a coral reef suggests a natural space. You could go in the other direction with something like a space-themed background if you want a more unique theme. Measure your tank before going to the store, and buy a piece at least 1" longer than your tank to account for uneven edges. When you get home, cut it down to the proper size and tape it to the outside of the back of your aquarium.
Summary: Decorate your tank with wood to provide hiding space and a potential food source. Decorate your tank with rocks to make the landscape at the bottom of the tank more interesting. Add some artificial decorative elements for a more fantastical look. Arrange the items in the tank artfully without overcrowding the space. Purchase a background to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the aquarium display.
