Do you ever feel in the dark when it comes to social media?  Maybe you understand Facebook and YouTube, but you’re less sure about Twitter or Vine or Skype.  GCFLearnFree.org is the place to go.  The “lessons” really are free.  They don’t take a lot of time to go through and are presented in a very clear manner.  Who knows, you may even decide to start a blog after clicking through their “Blog Basics.”
