I like to go straight to the main source of information on new digital equipment or software applications- the company that created it. Two main sources of tips and how-to guides come from company "newsletters" and "blogs". I am not recommending you subscribe to them. You have that option. I, however do not want the added e-mail. I just go to the company and type "newsletter" or "blog" into the company's search box and access them that way.
The benefit in occasionally reading these newsletters and blogs is too see how others are using the equipment or software. Sometimes a company has several newsletters, each one focusing on one product. Follow this link to see what microsoft.com has to offer. These newsletters have quick guides to getting started or how to produce better quality products and presentations in a few easy steps.
Think of these newsletters as short cut guides to creating better projects.
If you want to find out how to use your new technology quickly- try typing in the name of the equipment or software with "top tips" or "quick start guide" in the company's search box. See the link as an example.
