[Blindtlk] was myspace question, now is proper keyboarding

Thu Jan 1 00:11:07 UTC 2009

hi,

what typing school?
from the home row position,
left index on the f, drop all four fingers slightly south east so the left 
index finger is on the v or jump north east so your left index finger is on 
the r.

right side:
right index finger is on the j, drop all four fingers slightly south west so 
the right index finger is on the n or jump north west so your right index 
finger is on the u.

you can figure out the rest from there.
usually, t, and g are hit with the left index finger and y, and h are hit 
with the right index finger.
the b is usually hit with the left index finger but it could be your right.
hit the brackets, backspace, enter, etc with what is most cumfortable and 
productive for you, you're not being graded.
