(New to the Internet)

If you have clicked to this page, we can assume that you are relatively new to "surfing" the World Wide Web of the Internet...

We wish to assist you and other "newbies" as you are called, by giving you some basic tips that you may not be aware of yet:

First off, when you see an icon or text that says "FAQs", this stands for "Frequently Asked Questions". It is a page where you can go and have some of the most commonly asked questions answered for you.

When you move your mouse around on a page, you will notice that sometimes it changes from a pointer to a "hand". What this means is that if you "click" your mouse when it is a "hand", it takes you somewhere else... it could be a different page, or, a different location on the same page. These are called "links", "hyper-text links", "hot links" or several other terms but they all mean the same thing.

Images are used frequently with "links" hidden inside them. The way you will know that is to move your mouse over an image and see if you get the "hand". Sometimes you will see a colored border around an image and this CAN signify a link...but not always. The mouse pointer changing to a "hand" is how you know for sure. You decide whether or not to "click" on it to see where it goes if it is not obviously stated. Most BROWSERS (that is what the software you are using now is called... be it Netscape of Internet Explorer etc.) have a "BACK" button on them. This button will take you back one page at a time so you can return to where you were before you clicked, if you want to. Sometimes it is a large arrow that points either left or right and indicates going backwards or forwards.

You may also find links in the text of a web page. Usually these are not only underlined (a default setting in your software), but in a different color. Again, if your mouse pointer changes to a "hand" it is a link. If it does not change, it is not a link.
