 A web page
is a single continuous document presented on screen via the internet. This
document entitled "Instruction for Web site Navigation" is a web page.
A single page may be very long and scroll off your screen.
A web site
is a collection of usually related web pages that are interconnected via
links.
A link
is a word, a group of words, or an image that when clicked on with your
mouse take you to a related place on the same web page or a different web
page.
  When
you move your mouse cursor over a link, the cursor usually changes shape
to something like a pointing hand. Text links are usually both underlined
and displayed in a different color (such as at the top of this page.) Image
links usually are only apparent by the cursor change, although many are
made to look like "buttons."
Occasionally
a link will open an email composer to enable you to send email directly
to an individual or organization. You will find such links throughout the
SGR web site.
A browser
is a software program that accesses and displays web pages. The most widely
used browsers are Netscape (Netscape, Inc.) and Internet Explorer (Microsoft).
These
programs are constantly being upgraded. To take advantage of new web page
features, it is worthwhile to upgrade to a current version of your browser
program every year or so.
Most browser programs offer simple navigational aids. Look
for "buttons" or "hot spots" on your screen marked back and forward. The
PageUp and PageDown keys on your keyboard are very useful while reading
a web page and the scroll bar (if present) at the right side of your viewing
window will help you move quickly through a long page. Also, make use of
bookmarks that will place your favorite web sites on a list or menu to
enable easy repeat visits. (You should definitely make a bookmark for the
SGR site.)
