2 - Learn To Surf
Those Netscape Navigator, Microsoft
Internet Explorer, and NCSA Mosaic
buttons are guaranteed to make surfing the "Net" a lot more friendly.
Netscape users will be particularly interested in the following buttons:
The Forward, Back and Home buttons are the Web navigation keys:
- The Forward button will step you forward to the next Web page, if any.
- The Back button will back you up to the last Web page that you visited.
- Think of the Home button as your safety ejection button - click
on this button and you are mystically returned to the place from whence you came - our friendly home page.

3 - Follow the hypertext link
What ARE hypertext links? They're the coloured text you see scattered throughout WWW pages. Hypertext
links are used to connect documents together so you can explore the topic of the link. It's amazing to see the
places they can lead you. For example, click on this link to check out today's
Site of the Day.

4 - Try Some New Sites
You don't have to follow the hypertext links to get to a site - you can directly enter the "address"
of the Web page you want. Netscape users can simply click on the Open button and enter the site address
in the dialog box that is presented to you. This is particularly useful if you're reading about some wonderful
new Web page and see what all the exitement is about. To check it out, point your Web browser at the site they're
typing about. Here's some other interesting places to go:
