Facebook may be a great way to connect with people, but it’s also a fantastic tool for travel. At our September 10 Monday Night Twitter Party, we talked how we use Facebook to share our vacation photos, check in at new places on the road and search for fun things to do wherever we are. We also discussed the safety concerns we have with using Facebook while traveling.

One of my favorite sessions [at Blissdom 2012] was the one on Facebook, taught by the incomparable Melanie Nelson. Melanie was a technical writer in a former life, and she has the uncanny ability to explain complex concepts in a way that even a nitwit like me can grasp them. She has made herself an expert at Facebook — so much so that she is co-authoring Facebook All-In-One for Dummies (her SECOND book, by the way.) I’m telling you guys, she is a rockstar.

TypePad for Dummies - Book Review - SEO for TypePad

5.0 out of 5 stars Typepad for Dummies, May 2, 2010 What a great little book! At first i was reluctant to order any title that was aimed at 'dummies' because, like most of us I thought I wasn't dumb! Well, I was dumb - dumb about how simple using Typepad is when you have this book in front of you! As the book says - you can read from cover to cover, or jump to chapters you need as you need them. It works! However, after only three weeks of looking at Typepad for Dummies I STILL need it - like a bible! My usage criteria: my blog is a business blog; I am not HTML or code savvy; but I am learning very quickly how to build a community thanks to Typepad for dummies!!
