Put on your spandex shorts. It's time to take a ride. And put on a helmet, too.

No, not that dorky helmet made of styrofoam.

The other helmet. The one with the tinfoil and the wires sticking out.

It's time for a major mindset adjustment. For you see, Fnora is different.

Fnora does not employ evil robots to figure out what you should see.

Instead, Fnora puts you in control. Whose posts do you want to look at today? Do you want to see them all or skip to the most recent? When you make a post, whom do you want to see that post? Who gets to send you a private message? Who gets to see your blog[s]? Who gets to join your group[s]?

YOU decide!

But there is a price for such power.

With Great Control comes many controls.

Why Bother?

OK, though we promised that Fnora won't fry your brain as much as the other social networks, Fnora does require a bit of brain sweat at the beginning -- enough brain sweat that some people will be tempted to sell their synapses to one of our competitors, one with well developed Evil Robots which pretend to your bidding.

Before your wimp out, think back to your early childhood. Most of you learned how to ride a bike, even though at first, a bicycle was an absolutely terrible form of transportation. Indeed, many of you started off with something much easier. Maybe something like this:

Yet you learned the bicycle anyway, despite many falls and bruises. Because once mastered, you could ride 40 times as fast and far on the bicycle as on the toddler toy.

Facebook is like that toddler toy. Fnora is like the bicycle.

Experience True Freedom. Take the Lessons

Then ride. Ride like the wind!

As lessons are added, they will be listed in the list below. And at the end of each lesson there will be links to the previous and next lessons.

And remember too, brain sweat is good for your brain just as exercise is good for your anatomy. Exercises like logic puzzles and learning foreign languages help keep short term memory loss at bay...

Don't misunderstand me, Fnora is not a logic puzzle or a foreign language. The difference is taking light, daily jogs in your back yard vrs. running a marathon.

It didn't take me long to master all of the bells and whistles that it interests me to use (namely highlylighting, red text, bold, italics, links, lists, and pictures).

It's fun when you learn a new QTML trick, isn't it, Scythrop? :)
