There
are just a few basic concepts to understand in order to start authoring & publishing
immediately on your EdFolio site ... but, there's always more to learn ... advance your
'lifelong authoring' objectives below...
NOTE: Each Chapter section of the QuickGuide below is in
 (PDF) format viewable by the widely used free Acrobat Reader plugin. Your computer probably already has the Adobe Acrobat
PDF Reader plugin installed. If you don't have the Reader plugin, or
if you want to upgrade your existing plugin to the latest version, clicking
this button will launch the Adobe wizard to install it...

choose the Microsoft Word version of each Chapter section. Each of these files will allow you to make your own
notes and save the file to your computer as a handy reference customized with your own annotations...  Getting Started with your EdFolio Site
