• Got one type of file and need to convert it to another type of file? Try Cloud Convert.
• Bunches of new collections added to Ancestry.com plus a few that were updated yesterday. {Get your research/search on.}
• Tony with PCMag.com tells us what to do when Windows won't talk to our printer. {Hate it when they're not talking.}
• Not liking Feedly on your iOS mobile device to read all those genealogy and family history blogs? Try Reeder 2. {Haven't tried it yet, but I loved the first Reeder on my iPhone. When I had an iPhone.}
• SmashingApps gives us 11 free tools to annotate PDFs on our iOS mobile devices. {Great way to add citations and notes to those digital documents.}
• Google gives us back the ability to add RSS Feeds to Google Alerts. {And why they're trying to be hush-hush about it, I'll never know, but it's great for keeping up with a lot of things.}
• On the FGS blog, Thomas explains the Dell Member Purchase Program Benefit, which is the latest member benefit the FGS provides its members.
• In the Google+ Tech for Genealogy Community, Yvette asks, "Are you using the RIGHT Google Search Engine???" That's a good question for those of us using Google to search for our ancestors. Are we? Find out why and how with the link she shared. 
• Family Search added more than 352,000 indexed records and images to its collections this past week. {Time to get busy, folks.}
