Some of you might not care about what I’m going to talk about today.  Some of you may have a pretty blistering typing speed already.  But I followed Mextena back to their advice blog and came back with a pretty good idea:a few resources to help you with your typing speed.

Because let’s face it–blogging runs on typing.  We pound keys every day for the sake of our readership, and if we can’t clock out the word count then we let our readers down.

So here are some resources to help you punch the keys.

Clockwords: Prelude.  This is a game I found on Kongregate, and basically requires you to type words to charge a gun which blasts robot spiders with words.  It’s pretty fun, though it can get kind of frantic pretty quickly.  The faster you type, the more iron you’ll put in the air and send those spiders packing.

Typing Test. com.  You can determine your max words per minute, error rate and get some help here.  See if you can beat my fifty eight words per minute with ninety-six percent accuracy rate.

EHow’s typing guide.  Here are some great tips, although I’m not sure how useful “take a class” really is.  I actually did take a class back in high school, and I tell you, touch typing really does make things go faster.
