7 How to continue

Here we see where to find more information on browsers and surfing the Net.  Also the ever important safety questions are again touched upon.

Now that you can surf a little on your own you can discover for yourself what's offered on the Net. This chapter will introduce an excellent site for studying the basics of the Internet and browsers. Let's look at where to find that information.

1     Start IE6.

2     Type into the Location Box of a browser the following string:

               www.learnthenet.com/english/web/000www.htm

3     Press Enter.

Here is a page where you can find links to different topics about the Web and browsers. Don't be afraid of the ads around the page but concentrate on the links in the middle of the page. They lead to pages where the topics are clarified in simple but clear language. (Of course, you can study the ads too if you like.)

And do remember this: when reading the chapters behind the links don't worry if you don't understand everything on the first read. If you do understand everything, that's fine but it's not necessary. Just read all the chapters through at your leisure. On the second read you'll understand much more.

On the left side of the page there's a navigating list as shown
in Figure 7-3 below:

Here is the link 'Protect Yourself', very recommendable if those kinds of things aren't yet familiar to you. There are a lot of ads on the pages but otherwise they're exactly what you need.

One of the first useful things to learn is how to bookmark an interesting web page to be revisited more easily on a later occasion. More about this can be read at
