The Joy of Basic Overviews!

by Laura S. Quinn

Three new basic overviews came out recently - one on social bookmarking tools like Del.icio.us, a step-by-step tutorial on using RSS readers, and a look at the issue of image blocking in email browsers. It feels like there's been more focus on these basic overviews lately - a great trend! Keep them coming!

In the meantime, check these out...

An Introduction to Tagging (Beth's Blog and NTEN)
A terrific introduction to social bookmarking in general and De.licio.us in particular - and a great example of the power of screencasting.

Why Nonprofit Managers Must Use RSS ... And How to Start (DemocracyinAction)
Another fabulous tutorial - this one looking at why you would use an RSS reader to aggregate blogs, news, and searches, with step-by-step instructions as to how to go about it

Image Blocking in Email Clients: Current Conditions and Best Practices (Campaign Monitor)
A useful summary of the latest word about email browsers blocking images, and how you can take this into account when sending emails. It includes a chart summarizing common email browsers' support for images
