The lessons are a work-in-progress. I’m sure that I’ve missed some details, or got things wrong, in some of the lessons. In my rush to get something going, I’ve probably even misspelled some things. I would very much appreciate it you would alert me to any items I should correct or add. Please use the contact form.

Thank You for all the work you have done to provide good information to ‘beginners’ let me. Best, Lewis R. Lowden (Just a young 63 yo DAV).
Is there a list of symbols like –
quote marks; dot,dot,dot, etc. that are used in google searches and where do I find this list to aid me ???
Thanks. I am also a bit of an adult beginner.
You have clarified some issues for me, especially since the Google help sites work like advertisements.
For the purposes of accessibility, I suggest that you do not use “”"-marks.
A very useful website and page. I’ve bought so much software to find other websites, but using google is much better
Nice… very nice. Will you be making this into a .pdf? Or atleast make it into a portable format for those of us that travel without an internet linkup?
Thank you, jerry
thanks for a great self help website.
I still am having trouble viewing my entire Google website history,
which goes back several years, so I can delete certain entries.
Only an hour ago, I somehow managed to view that entire history, and after erasing a few entries, I can no longer see the entire history………all i can see is “Today”
i will send you a check if you can help me solve this stupid little problem……………..seriously!
Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon

There’s a typo in the link address in this paragraph:

It should probably be: “http://www.googletutor.com/google-manual”
unless of course you meant to leave the .com out intentionally.

Spot on with this write-up, I honestly think this web site
needs much more attention. I’ll probably be returning to read through more, thanks for the info!
