Geek Speak: Do you have a voice?

Firefox 3.5: What's New?
I’ve had my head down for quite some time now (haven’t you noticed everyone is so busy lately?) and the launch of Firefox 3.5 almost passed me by without much notice. Well, it almost did until my browser kept crashing unexpectedly and I noticed it recommended...

Wikis Need Some Love (and best practices)
(Originally appeared on From the Doc Side ) Since June of 2006 I’ve been moderating wikis as a part-time job for a company in Seattle. And then soon after at Blackbaud, we’ve explored and researched the use of a wiki as a help file. Since then, I’ve been...
Where's the download button
(Originally appeared on From the Doc Side ) Google posted on their blog today that Google Sites is now open to everyone. Curious as I am, I checked out what this new Google Sites feature was. After all, I knew they had acquired Jotspot a while back and...
