Tip of the Day
FamNet has so many facilities that it is difficult to tell you everything that you can do in FamNet without overwhelming you. On the home page “Tip of the Day” presents a single topic chosen at random. Click the link to learn something about this topic – perhaps a complete “How to”, perhaps just a brief note. Here is the current list of topics. Eventually this will become a grid view with look-up. These topics may repeat topics above or may be especially-written notes, and may link to other topics.
