| January: Staying Warm |
It's now the end of January and our motorhome is still in the
shop. Fortunately, we have a nice place to stay in Fort Lauderdale. I don't expect anyone to feel sorry for us when you look at this collage of beach photos! Especially when most of the country is in a deep freeze. We've even enjoyed a couple days of our favorite activity ... Kayak Diving! If you want to read more about people RVing, you might want to check out the Top 50 RV
Blogs. They name us as well as 49 other blogs by RVers, many of whom we know.We did do a few seminars at Computer Clubs around Florida,
as well as two online Hangouts. In one hangout we interviewed our friend Phil May of TechnoRV who joined us from England and spoke about traveling in Europe and getting connected to the Internet. In another, we joined with Robin Seaver and Honey Burt of Sun City Hilton Head Computer Club and we offered some tips and
tricks with smartphones. Click on the links to watch these hangouts now. |

Q&A Forum |
Some Geeks on Tour members tell us that the Q&A forum is worth the entire cost of membership! Here are some of the topics that have been discussed this month. Anyone can read the forum, only members ca ask questions. |
| Saving Google Maps Directions |
Let's say you were planning on doing an RV trip in the same area that we traveled thru last year. I might want to send you a detailed list of directions of where we went, and where we parked the
RV. You can easily create multiple destination directions using Google Maps, but how do we keep these directions? How can I share them with you?. |

| Trouble Viewing Videos? Try VLC |
I'm not just talking about Geeks On Tour Videos, I'm talking about ANY video or audio format you
want to play on your computer. I use VLC all the time on my computer. If you are having problems playing multimedia files, install VLC. I bet it will work for you. |

| Blogger and Pictures |
Blogger makes it very easy to add pictures to your blog or web page. All you need to know is where the picture is that you want to add. Is it on your computer? Or is it on the
web? Keep reading and we'll tell you how to do it. If you prefer that we "Show You How," we have a couple of tutorial videos you can watch that show exactly what we mean. This article explains the 6 options offered by Blogger to Insert Images into your blog posts: - Upload
- From this Blog
- From Picasa Web albums
- From your phone
- From your webcam
- From a URL
