Hi Mary, hope you don’t mind me posting here 🙂

I’m Steve Black, the founder of Techboomers.com. I just wanted to quickly thank you for sharing our site on your blog and let your readers know that they can get in touch with me any time via email (steve@techboomers.com) if they have any questions or feedback on how we can improve the site.

Lastly, some of them might be interested in checking out a webinar we did with a library association in Canada: bit.ly/1JHEqY8. It focused on how libraries can use Techboomers’ free video and article tutorials to help with their tech training classes / programs.
