Hi [firstname,fallback=friend],

Just Like Last Month, Another Change.

Image of Taking a turn

Last month I changed the design. This month it's format. To make the content easier to scan and digest I now have the articles on my website at HamiltonBerchman. You can scan and dig in—by clicking—where you find interest. You can also leave comments and start a conversation on the website. More about that in the next article.

Finally, Find of the Month

Every month I share an Internet destination that has some application to doing business, getting things done, or just plain cool. This month it’s a website called PalBee.com. PalBee offers online whiteboard collaboration, easier, faster and free video conference & video chat—all for free.

Wrap up

That’s it for this month of DesignDetails. Let me know what you think of the new format, or if you have any questions about any of this content. I always welcome questions and feedback to make this of value to you.

Are you facing a challenge or have a question relating to the Internet? Please share. I can answer your questions and share with everyone—with anonymity of course.

If you like this e-newsletter, consider forwarding to a friend. Thanks for spreading the word.

Do you know someone in need of expert help or advice with web communications? I always welcome your referrals of friends, colleagues, and family. And let me know if you welcome referrals as well.

I’ll talk to you again in June.
