Nail It Now - A Web Site Review
Next I moved on to the Word Tutorial. The first tutorial is titled Confindence Builder. I think the name is fitting. The basics of Microsoft Word are broken down into 20 different steps. They have great graphics and explanations that let you know exactly what the function is for and what happens when you use it. This tutorial is written in a very easy to understand way. The wording is not complicated, dull or boring like a lot of the tutorial books I've seen. I think an older grade school child could log onto the web site and follow these instructions on their own and "get it".

There is also a link to an excellent No Dither Color Palette which is extremely helpful for creating color on a web site.
The next subcategory is Backgrounds. There are 20 different premade backgrounds under the heading Public Domain Backgrounds. They are very nice! If you don't like any of these there are three links to other sites that offer backgrounds. These links look to be
