Nail It Now - A Web Site Reviewbe quite good, but I didn't follow them due to time constraints. There is a link to download Paint Shop Pro for a free trial. I highly recommend you read over what the site has for information before you download your trial version. I personally do not have Paint Shop Pro yet, but I have talked with many people and have been told that older elementary age children should be able to use this program. The next subcategory is the Create a Simple Background. This is an excellent tutorial using Paint Shop Pro. The graphics are exactly what you can expect to see within the Paint Shop Pro program. The tutorial is broken down into easy to understand steps. In other words, you can simply follow the instructions from this tutorial and have your very own self made background. If you want to see your child develop some confidence and give them a feeling that they can create a web page for themselves this will do it. There are also simple instructions for building a simple border background. Again in this tutorial the steps are broken down in easy to understand language. To sum up my opinion on Nail It Now, I find it to be awesome! The graphics are easy to see and follow and show you exactly what they look like within each program. The site is a breeze to navigate with the clean pages and color coding. The typing tutorial is priced exceedingly low in comparison to other programs that will take much longer to learn in my opinion. I know I'm excited about signing my daughter up for the Typing Tutorial. I'm looking forward to the release of the second Word Tutorial. I highly recommend this site!
