1.Open WA in the web browser you usually use for example Google Chrome.

    2.Sign in and open up the tab you want to work on. For this example I have opened my website dashboard tab and then a post page.

    3.Open WA in a second web browser for example Yahoo.

    4.Sign in and open up the tab you want to view to get information from. For this example I have opened Jaaxy.

    5.For both pages use your restore down button on the top right of your screen (second from right).

    6.Then drag one so it fits half your screen from side to side.

    7.And drag the second one so it fits the other half of your screen. Put these in whatever order you like to work with.

    8.As I also like to monitor keywords and where my posts (and pages) are on Google and other various search engines I also open my Word file that contains this information.

    9.Minimise this Word document (third button from the right at the top of the screen). When you want to add a keyword to this just click on the bottom icon to maximise Word. When you finish just click on it again and it will minimise back down to the icon.

    10.You can also open and minimise other screens and they too show on the task bar. Hover your cursor over these minimised ones to see what’s there. This shows if you have two pages or files open in that program. Click on the page you want and that opens.

    11.(You can minimise one of the search engines if you want like but this is two extra steps ie minimise search engine page, maximise Word, minimise Word and then maximise the search engine page.)

People new to the terms may find part of your terminology to be confusing -- Google Chrome, like Internet Explorer and Firefox, is a web browser, not a search engine. Those WA and Jaaxy windows you refer to are called "browser windows" not "search engine windows".

Thanks Bob this is just what I want. I did get these terms from other sources but I realise that other people also confuse them. I will collect any comments and fix up the training.

So I am now looking into web terms and I think you have opened a can of worms. So far Google and Yahoo have been called a web browser, internet search engines, a webserver, and a web directory! O great Great A'Tuin save me! What I want is a web hierarchy flow chart. Have you seen one?

Unfortunately, people do tend to use a lot of terms interchangeably. I don't believe that I've ever seen a comprehensive hierarchy chart. Here's my attempt to draw the distinctions. (I can only hope it doesn't create more confusion.)

The program that you run on your computer is your web browser. It might be Google's Chrome, Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox, or Apple's Safari.

The search engines are the websites that you visit to find other websites. These include, among others, google, yahoo, and bing. Since they all operate over the internet, I suppose they could also be called internet search engines.

Yahoo used to (and perhaps still does) have a directory which is nothing more than a collection of website addresses sorted by category. (Another of the more famous web directories is the dmoz.org site.)

A webserver is just a computer that hosts websites. (It "serves up" web pages to be displayed by the browser running on your computer.) WA's servers are webservers as are the computers at thousands of web hosting companies.

I would like to keep this conversation going - probably sporatically. Would it be ok with you if I switch to private messages? I have set myself the task of understanding this so it might take time. I will only message when the 'light bulb' comes on!

Not a problem, Helen. Did my previous post clarify anything for you or did it confuse you further?

It started me off on trying to get a schematic diagram of the WWW. As I am also looking into css coding as my website is not quite what I want. So I am quite busy. But I will find or do a schematic to the best of my ability sometime and let you have a copy. And thanks for the help. I just adjusted my pages as per you comment.

Hi Helen, to answer your question about the training not being big enough for four pages. If it's too small then it should be a blog post. However this tutorial is comprehensive enough to be considered 'training'. I hope this helps. ~Marion

Yes it does. I tend to like things short and to the point but sometimes that doesn't work.

Hi Helen, I'd like to help but I don't quite understand your question. Exactly what is it you are trying to do with the trainings?

When you create training on your profile page you get three options; a tutorial, video training and a course. As I only did a one off training for this topic I chose a tutorial. I put all the information on one page and was told by the package that I needed at least 4 pages. I split my information into 4 pages but it seems excessive when you don't need that many!

Ah I see! I haven't created a training yet myself Helen but judging by the tutorials I've been through at least 4 pages seems to be the standard. I guess the process of splitting things up into multiple pages gives it a "tutorial" feel.

Maybe you could fill out the pages with some strong images or infographics for visual learners?

Hope that's helpful.

I myself have a question for anyone who knows. If the training isn't really big enough for 4 pages is there a way you can do it in less?

i dont know this area, but if space is a concern,
Check with Kyle on this.

"I am guessing you are creating a training plan".. then I say use info graphics to speak for you.
