Navigating web•Wiz

Use the main menu items on the navigation bar on the left side of each page to go to different sections of web•Wiz Online.
The Web Parts on the right of each page provide further links to more specific sections. Note these Web Parts can be collapsed and moved, according to what you want. The right arrow is for collapsing/expanding and the left marker is for moving a Web Part up/down with your mouse.
To read any past column, click the web•Archive button.
For links to sites, including those from previous columns, use the web•Directory service.
To find what you want at web•Wiz Online, just enter a word you want to search on and press the Search button. For example, want to find pages that talk about "MP3"? Just enter "MP3" (without the quotes) and press Search. There's an Advanced Search too.
To login to, or get your own free web-based email address, click on web•Mail.

The web•Directory began as a collection of the sites featured in each fortnight's column. However, as time has gone by, more and more have been added - and are being added almost daily. There are now about 3,000 sites listed!
When you choose web•Directory from the menu on the left, you'll be taken to a page containing the main categories. Each category is further broken down into useful headings to guide you to sites relevant to that particular topic.
You can also access any of the categories from the Web Parts on the right side of web•Wiz's opening page.
Each entry will open a new browser window when it's clicked on. If it's not the site you're looking for, simply close the window and try another site.
In the main, each entry in the web•Directory has a tooltip to give you a brief description of a site's content. Just let your mouse hover over the link for a few seconds to bring up the tooltip.
The majority of sites listed contain a number of different areas and should provide the information you're looking for. There are only a small number of specific site pages listed. Due to the ever-changing nature of the 'Net (pages are removed and not archived, sites are re-designed, and so on), in some instances you may not be able to access a particular page. As a suggestion, go to the site's home page and try to find out if pages have been re-organised.
