Frustrated & not sure how to start using them?

There are lots of shiny online tools to use for business.   The problem is, you have to learn how to use them.  Sure, you could search the Internet or ask a busy friend.  You might feel helpless, and frustrated with all the “jargon” it takes to even know how to begin.  Words like “widget”, “auto-responder” and “CSS” are like a foreign language, but come with the territory when learning to use these tools.
