The Basics of Google Earth
Ever since the early days of this blog, Frank has maintained a "Basics" page with info for new users. It's just been refreshed with a lot of great info, including relatively new items such as:
• What the imagery dates in the corner of Google Earth really mean
• Using the Google Earth 6 "ground-level view" feature
• Why historical imagery is sometimes newer than the base imagery
Spend a few minutes on the basics page and you're likely to discover something new about Google Earth that you weren't aware of before. If you know anyone that is just getting started with Google Earth, send them over that way and it should be a nice resource for them.
If there are any tips that you think we're missing, leave a comment and we'll get it updated further. Thanks!

I love Google Earth. I had no problems with it in Windows XP. But, it simply freezes for me in Windows 7.
