1. Go to your Genealogy Tool Box and click on "My Account" in the top right hand corner.
2. Click on "Notebook" under "My Products".
3. On the left hand side under "Notebooks", click on "Create a New Notebook".
4. Name your first Notebook "Genealogy Websites" and click "OK". This Notebook is for all your Genealogy websites that you visit regularly. ie. ancestry.com, rootsweb.com
5. Create another Notebook and name it "Places". This Notebook is for all the links to Places you visit in for your Genealogy research. ie. Tennessee, Giles County, Missouri, etc.
6. Create another Notebook and name it "Quick References". This Notebook is for all your reference sites that you visit. I.e. NRA, Soundex, Census dates, etc.
7. You might want to make more Notebooks for your specific needs. I am designing my own Website so I have a Notebook named "Designing a Website".
8. On the left hand side of the page, you should have 4 Notebooks labeled
1. "My First Notebook" [keep this one or delete it]
2. "Quick References"
3. "Genealogy Websites"
4. "Places"

We're thru adding the necessities to your Genealogy Tool Box. There are more gadgets you can add to make your Genealogy Tool Box more enjoyable. Below is a list of suggestions that you might want to add.
1. A link to your Gedcom file so you will be able to access it if needed or your Gedcom file uploaded to your Docs.
2. A blog to journalize your Genealogy Research which can be found by going to your Genealogy Tool Box and clicking on the arrow beside "More" at the top left hand corner of the page and then clicking on even more. "Blogger" is in the right hand column under "Communicate, Show and Share".
3. Other Genealogy Stuff by clicking on "Add Stuff" in the top right hand corner of your Genealogy Tool Box. There are lots to choose from. I am fond of "Eastman's Genealogy Newsletter", "Genealogy News Center", "Genealogy Help", "Distant Cousins" and a few more.
NOTE: You can also access your Google Docs and any other program you have with Google by clicking on the "My Account" button in the top right hand corner. This will give you a list of the accounts you already have under "My Products" and give you options of getting more products that you need for your Genealogy Tool Box.
