BROWSING Tips:
The fact that you're here, obviously means that you already know plenty about how to get around a web site! My intention with this page, is simply to share with you, a few of the things that I personally have found very helpful to know about.

While a page is loading.....

It's good practice, generally speaking, to wait until a web page is fully loaded, before you start scrolling or clicking on 'enlarge image' or 'url links' The reason is that sometimes, all the images for the page, don't 'load' properly. I keep an eye on the base of my browser, to see when it says "Done" or "Document done."
If you do have a problem with an image or two that didn't display correctly, then simply remember to hit the 'Refresh' or 'Reload' button at the top of your browser and all should be well the second time.



On being patient...!

I'd say that because of the very nature of the kind of sites we visit, we often need to be patient whilst they 'load'. The more graphics there are on a page, the longer it takes to fully display on our screens. Hopefully, most times they are worth the wait, and I must admit, the web would be a barren place without them!......... so patience is the go!



Don't be afraid to 'click'!

Sometimes, we are afraid to 'click' for fear of getting lost! Well don't be!... you can always come back by hitting the 'back' button at the top of your browser. Hopefully there is a good 'navigation system' on the site you are visiting, so there usually isn't a problem at all.
One thing that can happen, is that when you click to go to a page, it opens up in a 'separate' window....... these are usually designed to be closed before you continue....... if you don't, you will find at the end of your 'session', you have lots of open windows to close up!



Explore with your mouse!

The arrow/pointer turns to a hand when there's something to do! Designers often build in several 'events' that will occur when your 'mouse' goes over a particular area..... so it's a great habit to get used to exploring the page with your mouse....... it will guide you to links to other pages, or simply just surprise you from time to time!
