One of my goals this year is to learn about blogs and blogging.  As you are reading this Blogger blog called, "CLB-TVCUG", you know I have started my blogging experience.  Currently, I am investigation two free blogging platforms:

1) Blogger, which is owner by Google
2) Tumblr, which is owned by Yahoo

I have two email accounts (gmail and yahoo) so I use the corresponding blog service for each.
I also have a Yahoo Group which I store on-line user information.  It is Yahoo based (you need a yahoo account).  This is the group -

Video_Don_PC-Users

I allows users to post discussions, files, links and have poles of the user base.  You are welcome to join it.
It is a private group so I have to approve membership additions.

My Yahoo email is -
                                       videodon27@yahoo.com

My Gmail address is -
                                       videodon27@gmail.com

This is the iPAD book I purchased on-line.  It is over 500 pages of great information in 17 chapters plus  appendix A & B.



This is my new iPAD air housed in my ZAGG keyboard/case which I got for about $100 at the local Verizon store.  It allows the keyboard to be "Bluetoothed" to the iPAD.

I bought a book on the iPAD after reading the 166 page PDF file that Apple provides.  I am still reading the book which is vary good (the missing manual series).  I just attended a  one hour workshop at the local Apple store to also help me get on board with the iPAD.  This was good and had 4 people plus the instructor guide us through basics and allow our questions to steer the discussion.  It was goo d but one needs many more sessions to really learn how to use an iPAD.  I am an experienced computer user and I find just reading the manual is better for me.  But, seeing it demonstrated by the instructor is a very powerful learning experience.  So I recommend one attend a few Apple workshop as they are free.
