Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can help you with making your connection to the Web. Costs range from $20 to $30 per month depending on anticipated usage and connection speed (DSL is more expensive). Beware of low-cost offers, since they will probably mean slow connections and busy signals. "Free" connections are filled with ads and are typically very slow.

Now that you are equipped, fire up your software. Make sure all your settings and options are correct (your ISP can help you with the more esoteric settings). At this point, a default Web site will be presented, normally the Microsoft, Apple, or Netscape Web site. To gain more screen real estate, I recommend that you turn off the directory (Netscape) or Links (Explorer) tool bars and change the navigation buttons to text only. The navigation buttons you will be using the most are Back (takes you back one page or frame), Reload/Refresh (refreshes the screen), and Stop (stops the downloading of the page, file, etc.).

TIP: If the logo in the upper right hand corner of the screen is in motion, then the browser is waiting for data from the Web.

The typical method of navigating through the Web is to click on hyperlinks. These are usually represented as colored underlined words or phrases. Buttons and some pictures can also be clicked on. By choosing a link you are transported to either another place on the page you are viewing, to another page at the same Web site, or to another Web site altogether.

TIP: To determine if a picture can be clicked on, move the pointer onto the picture. If the pointer changes to a hand, then the picture is a link.

CAUTION: Never enter personal information or credit card numbers unless you are absolutely sure that the site is secure and the company is reputable. Remember that the Web is not regulated, so a scam artist could be masquerading as a legitimate company.

Now the question becomes "Where do I start?" If you are interested in a particular subject or topic, but don't know where to begin, there are three popular "search engines" (sites that have attempted to map the Web):

http://www.google.com/
http://www.yahoo.com/
http://www.ask.com/

Note that a Web site's address is also called the Universal Resource Locator or URL. The basic idea is that you type in a series of words and phrases (phrases are enclosed in double quotes) and the search engine lists sites which it thinks are relevant. The more precise your search criteria, the better your chance of finding what you want.

TIP: To quickly go to a site that has a URL like http://www.sitename.com/ simply type the site name into the Netsite or Address box and press "enter." For example, to get to http://www.yahoo.com/ simply type yahoo and press "enter."
