... when you read the directions.
In my forever love of Google, there have been two Google products I haven't been so hot on: Picasa and Blogger.
In general, the reason why I do love Google so much is because so much of how you use their products is intuitive, at least to me. Yes, I spend time poking around Google labs (too much time), so I know how to optimize it for myself, but I still can pretty much figure it out.
Lately, though, I've been reading more of the getting started guides. They're amazing! They tell you all the features and how to use them, even if they weren't originally clear to you! (Imagine that.) Before, I was somewhat considering trying to migrate over to WordPress from Blogger, but to be honest, now that I know how to use Blogger better, there is really no reason. Plus, I have the added benefit of sticking with my one account, which is by far my favorite Google feature. I even started using Picasa on my computer and posting public albums (visible on my website... 'cause I'm a G like that). Honestly, Picasa makes it so easy to order prints, I might actually start scrapbooking again!
Now I'd like to pause to acknowledge the fact that I have presented myself on the internet as a Google-obsessed, scrapbooking nerd. I embrace it. And anyway, with pictures like these, why wouldn't I scrapbook?
I guess what I've learned is: read the directions... and never give up on Google.
