Logos blog tips

Instructions

This Reading List is intended to index useful tips from the Logos blog and forums. Note that some blogs are linked to videos. It contains all Morris Proctor tips on Logos 4 and some other blog posts that seemed appropriate. It also includes references to the forums that were mentioned in the Weekly Roundup.

Why format as a reading list? Because you can mark items as read. This allows you to work slowly through the list as topics are of use, keep track of what you have covered and easily see unread and new entries.

Additional information on using Logos 4 is available in the Logos 4 Online Manual a.k.a. the wiki
