Nowhere is better than South Florida in January. The photo above is from Morikami Gardens in Boca Raton. After some restful holidays, we went back to work presenting seminars at Computer Clubs in our area, doing our "What Does This Button Do?"
YouTube shows, and working on our website.
By the way, our pictures, Blogs, Web Albums, maps, and videos are all examples of what we teach. You can learn how to plan, preserve, and share your travels (or your life.) It makes the experience that much more enjoyable to get creative
and share pictures, maps, stories, and movies with friends and family. Check out our Learning Library of Tutorial Videos, just go to GeeksOnTour.com and click the menu for Tutorials. There are plenty of free videos in addition to our members-only content to whet your appetite for learning. |

Google Photos: Everything you need to know |
If you take a lot of photos and wish that they were all together and safe so you never had to worry about them – Google Photos is truly the best option. I wrote a book about Google Photos. It’s titled Mrs. Geek’s Guide to Google Photos. The subtitle is “Your lifetime of photos, effortless and free.” I keep thinking, if Google
Photos is so effortless, why do I need a 100+ page book to teach how to use it? I’ve come up with these 14 points as all you really need to know. |

So many of us use Facebook all the time. We’ve just kind of jumped in and started posting and don’t understand the structure of the system. We think you’ll get more out of it if you do understand a bit. There are 4 distinct parts to Facebook. We were guests on the YouTube show of Michael Daniels and The topic was Facebook Basics, and making a Facebook group. If you've ever wondered about making your own group, that's exactly what we did as part of this video.
