The first rule of web surfing is that if your mouse cursor changes
from it’s normal picture to a hand, it is called a
link to another location.
If you click on the object, you will be taken to a different location
(Note: The links can take you somewhere else on the page you are
on, to another page located within the same site you are on, or to another
site elsewhere.).
-
Another rule is that most underlined text is a link. If you see a word
or phrase underlined, then see if you can click on it.
-
The third rule is that if you see a scroll bar, there is
more of the page to see. The scroll bars, shown below, can be on the
right, bottom and in the middle of any page
depending on the setup of the page. Simply place your cursor on the bar
and move it up/down or left/right.
-
The last rule is to get familiar with your browser’s (the program
you are using to browse or surf the web) menu buttons.
The three you should be the most familiar with are the BACK, FORWARD,
and STOP buttons. These buttons are ususally located near the
top of the screen. The Back button have an arrow facing
left or have the words back or prev (previous) on it. The Forward
button may have an arrow facing right or have the word forward or
next on it. The Stop button may be a traffic light, stop sign or
a circle with an X in it. Examples from Netscape and Internet Explorer are
shown below.

You can use these buttons at anytime to
move from the page (location) you are currently on to the previous page
you were on, and the stop button will stop a page from loading any
further.

Now, if you will select from the menu on the left, you can return to your browsing.
I hope you enjoy the site.
