1How to use this Jog.
You can navigate through the pages on the left. There are a couple websites that will not show in the frame, for these click on "show page URL" in the dialogue box above. This will bring you directly to the site.
You can work with the websites within the frame.
Websites are ranked from easiest (page 2) to most difficult (page 53) to use, set up, and catch onto (Brandon's opinion).
Do not let the level 3 websites discourage you, as many are fairly simple to use once you have learned how to use them.
