Basics

For Cleftstick alumni…

For participants of earlier courses back for refreshers: If you can't find the page you're looking for in the menus above and along the side, try entering a search term in the search box. The menus and sub-menus are reconfigured for individual classes, so that topics not covered don't crowd out the ones that will be. But the pages are still there.

Welcome

Welcome to the AJF online media training course.  This site is half blog, half website resource. Posts will appear here with exercises as the course/day wears on.

If you’ve not already filled out the short pre-course questionnaire, you can find it here.

You’ll also see pages listed on the right hand side of the website. Click on those and you’ll see step-by-step instructions to the tasks we’ll focus on during the three days.

We’ll be using the Firefox browser for this course.

Here’s a tip:

You’ll find it easier if you keep tabs open in your browser so that you can switch between what you’re doing and the instructions. To open a link in a new tab right click on the link and then select Open Link in  New Tab from the options:

You’ll see tabs listed along the tob of the main window of your browser:

Switch through tabs by clicking on them or holding down the Control and Tab keys at the same time.
