with the world, a website is the way to do it!
This seminar will
introduce you to Google’s free website and photo tools, Blogger.com and
Google Photos Albums. Learn how to start a Blog/Website and add
stories, photos, maps, and videos with Geeks on Tour’s easy to understand,
step-by-step instructions.
