Don't understand what it's all about? Butterscotch might help
I've just seen this in a feed I get. I think I will find it very useful whilst trying and keep up with what is possible, also when comparing what option to choose from the seemingly endless supply of ways to communicate!I am stealing this explanation directly from the blog on Resourceshelf.
"Butterscotch is a website which, through many free video tutorials, instructs in the use of all kinds of hardware and software. Its visual emphasis also allows for a quick comparison
between your computer or device and the tutorial. And of course the video can be replayed as many times as necessary.
The Tutorials section is tailored to accomplishing specific tasks or
examining the possibilities of certain software. The presenters/narrators have a common style, concise and using everyday language. Topics that need to be covered in more depth are usually
broken down into a series of short videos rather than one long one.
The Tutorials section also shares with the Shows section (see below) the quality of there being something for everyone, no matter their level of technical knowledge. So at one end of the spectrum there is an Introduction to Flickr, and at the other, Syncing notes in the cloud with Evernote. And for the latest devices and software, there is a special channel of Breaking news tutorials."
I'll be having a huge helping of Butterscotch.

Wow! This is great, all those pesky tech questions answered and you don't have to read great slabs of info - just watch the tutorials.
I had a pretty good look around and found something called 'Readability'. You install the Readability icon on your favourites bar and when you load a page which is full of clutter just click the icon. All the clutter is removed and you just have the article that you want to read. No ads, no annoying things flashing at you. You can choose the way you want it displayed, for example a book, an e-book or a newspaper. You can choose the font size and the margin size. And if you want your clutter back there is a 'circle arrow' on the de-cluttered screen which returns the page to normal.
Good for the eyes, good for comprehension. I think I will be using this a lot.

I just tried a tutorial on Irfanview and it was pretty easy and straightforward. I'm impressed by the wide range of apps covered. There are some that I hadn't heard of before.
