I have a new friend, her name is Lynda.com. She is full of online training and tutorials, and she is going to help me advance my blogging skills beyond belief. As many of you know, I’m a sort of a new kid on the block of the blogosphere. I’ve learned my skill by trial and error. I’ve had no training in computer programs, other than getting some help from my brother, the computer engineer. I’ve got all the newest gadgets – Droid phone, laptop, my home computer, and my new DSLR camera, but do I know how to maximize their capabilities? NO! And since I’m a stay-at-home mom, I won’t be going out to the community college to learn the skills I want to possess.
Well, this is where my new friend Lynda.com comes in. I’ve only had a brief chance to explore the website, but from what I’ve seen, it will be my “go-to” place to learn all I need to know to operate all my gadgets effectively.
