 1. Is the Web the same as the Internet?

Not exactly. The World Wide Web is the most well-known and visible part of the Internet the part that you see through your Web browser. It's a global series of interconnected pages (hence the word "web") containing text,graphics, and multimedia.

2. How can I find interesting sites on the Web?

The About.com channel buttons and the HotBot search engine on your Personal Start Page are ideal ways to find sites on the Web. Read more about finding Web sites.

3. How do I get to Web sites I read about?

Simply type the site's address (known as the URL) into the address blank on your Web browser and hit the Return or Enter key on your keyboard.tataisp Web site URL is or simply www.guide2net.net (you can usually leave off the "http://" portion of a URL when you type it in).

4. Will I be charged extra for using some Web sites?

Not without your consent. Some Web sites require you to pay a fee to access some or all of the site's content. The site will tell you whether you need to pay, and you can agree or simply decline and leave the site.

5. How come some Web pages take a long time to see?

A number of factors affect the loading speed of Web pages: the amount of text and graphics on  the page, the quality of your connection, the traffic on the Internet and at the site your visiting,  and so on. You can read more about Internet speed.

6. Is there any way to make Web pages load faster?

Yes. You can surf the Net during off-peak hours or upgrade your modem (see the Speed section  of this FAQ). You can also change your browser settings, particularly the size of your cache.

7.What is a "plug-in"?

A plug-in is a piece of software that you add to your Web browser to allow it to display content that the browser can't display on its own. Plug-ins allow your browser to show video and animation, play audio, and perform other functions. Our bLink plug-ins tutorial has more information.

8. What plug-ins should I have?

Some of the more popular plug-ins include QuickTime, Shockwave, Adobe Acrobat Reader, RealPlayer, and ichat. 
                

 9.How come sometimes I can't go back when I hit my browser's Back button?

It's possible that you opened a new browser window without realizing it.Sometimes when you click a Web page link, the page instructs your browser to display the new page in a completely new browser window. This new window sometimes covers the previous window. Try minimizing or closing the browser window you're viewing to see whether the other window  appears.

10. How do I save Web pages that I like?

Make sure the page is currently displayed in your browser. Then go to your browser's File menu and select Save As. Choose a place on your hard disk where you would like to save the page and click OK or Save. You can also just bookmark the page in your browser to make it easy to get back to without actually saving it.

11. Can I print Web pages?

Yes. Make sure the page is currently displayed in your browser. Then go to your browser's File menu and select Print.

Yes. Position your mouse cursor on the page, click and hold down your mouse button, and drag the mouse to highlight the text you want to copy (to select all the text on a page quickly, go to the Edit menu and choose Select All). Then go to the Edit menu and select Copy. Switch to your word processor and choose Paste from the word processor's Edit menu.

13. Why do links seem to change color?

Links change color to show you which links you've already clicked. The color change helps you keep track of where you've been.
