Where possible, print out each lesson and go sit somewhere (away from the computer) and read through. Mark the items you want to try out. Then later go to the computer and work through the lesson item by item.

I'm adding more links as I find them and at some point will organize the page a little better.

Tips
Selecting Templates:
You don't necessarily need to move templates to avoid selecting the wrong one. If you hold down the SHIFT key, or put the CAPS LOCK on, the template name labels will highlight as you move over them and you can select the template you want by clicking on the label. This works even when several templates overlap, because Templot puts the name labels in random positions for this reason.
