TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Nancy, if you want to pick up the skills (knowing how), then you need to get your hands on the technology. However, if you just want the knowledge (knowing that) you can pick up a lot reading tech blogs and forums.
Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/) is for the more advanced, but if you're a good reader and a quick learner, it will get you up to speed on the cutting edge of stuff.
I'd recommend reading both each day. Bit like learning a foreign language, at first it'll make no sense, but after a few months you'll be telling other people stuff they didn't know.... :-)
