Hi David Taylor,
Thanks for your information. I will keep that in mind and try to
figure out what it means. I posted on another thread what I'm really
thinking about this. As a writer, I will have to be able to use Twitter. So
I will be creating a step-by-step guide for me to use. Apparently only a
different step-by-step guide for every single webpage. And maybe someday
I'll figure out what all those strange terms mean that are listed on the
voiceover help pages.
I design websites, and I still have no idea what is meant by auto web
spot, web spot, web rotor, sweet spot, and a dozen other unrecognized terms
in this paperwork. I can only imagine what someone has never used the
Internet for more than e-mail or maybe checking Facebook would think when I
try to figure this out. Baby even more lost than me.
Thanks for your help and I'll be checking back in.
Have a nice day,
April
