The web lets you choose what you do by giving you
links to different places.
One way to use links is to put them in a menu.
In the Choose What to Learn Menu on the left the words are the
links. You choose what you want to learn by clicking on the words
describing it.
|
If you change your mind after you click - the new page has links that will
bring you back to these choices.
|
Some of these links are smiling faces, like the one above. Others are the
words:
Choose what to learn Home Page
Another way to return to this page is to click the back button at
the top of the screen. If you do not know what the back button looks like,
click here to
find out, and then use it to return.

Home Page Links
|
At the top of many pages on this site you will find a picture like this,
that is also a link. Clicking on this will take to Andrew Robert's Home
Page
|
|
A picture that acts as a link is called an
Icon.
Notice that the work "icon" above is also a link. Clicking on it will take
you to more information about icons
A Home Page is a web page that will take you to
all the related web pages by clicking on the relevant links. These
links are usually arranged in menus and often have icons as
well.
The Home Page to Andrew Roberts' web site tries to provide links to
the whole site. As it is a very big site, this is quite difficult.
Other home pages provide links to parts of the site.

The ABC icon links to the home page of the ABC Study Guide

Top of Page Menus
You will find menus of links at the top of most of the pages on my
site, and many other sites
You may notice that the pages of a web site are arranged something like a
tree. Often, clicking on a link at the top of a page takes you down a
branch of the tree. You click on the link on the next link, and so on, and
find yourself back at the Main
Home Page, which is the root of the tree, or the web page where the web
site begins.
|
Bottom of Page Menus
Many sites have menus at the bottom of most of their pages which
let you link quickly to other pages, or (sometimes) write to the author.
At the bottom of almost every page on my site you will find the following
menu.
Study Link takes you to a web page that lists study resources on the
world wide web. The next link takes you to the Home Page for
the
ABC Study Guide. There is a link to take you back to the
top of
the page,
a link to let you send messages to me, and a link that gives
you a break from what you are doing. There is also a "copyright" link that
takes you to a list of the things I am happy for you to do with my
material, and to a page that tells you who I am (If you want to know, or I
can remember). Try
them. The "Back" button will bring you back to this page.
