are there any websites that teach you how to properly type? I'm going for a job for the government and i need to be able to type 30 words per minute. i only type about 40 words per minute but i don't type the "proper" way. i do the 2 finger search and peck type deal. any sites that teach you the proper way for free?

I would like to know as well, I can type about 40-50 words per min, but I am the same way. I dont really peck, kinda have my fingers spaced the right way, but use the wrong fingers.

i only use 2 fingers, and generally right around 45 words per minute and 95% + accuracy

Since you brought this up, I have paid attention for the first time in a long time on how I type. I actually do type with 2 fingers as well even though my hands are spaced out. I wonder if I could type correctly, what I would be at.

when i line my hands on the keyboard i have to thing about what finger to use. when just using 2 fingers i can just slap the keyboard and keep going.

they charge for typing software. i was hoping there would be a website where no software was needed so i could practice at work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Mavis beacon is the $hit.It's a typing program for your computer and it tells where your hands should be placed on the keyboard.I own the old version.
