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.

If so, click on the right hand button Add to Google Reader:

You may now encounter a message like this (If not, scroll down until you find the message you do get):

(By the way If you’re not signed in to Google, then you’ll see this message)

(In which case click on the button, and enter your password if necessary)

and Google Reader will add to your collection of feeds, and return you to the page you were viewing before.

Or you may simply see a list of entries in your Google Reader with the line at the top You have subscribed to “Gadgets Page” or the name of the feed:
