MSN Web Surfing Basics

Pages on the web are interconnected. You connect to other pages by clicking text or graphics that are called hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks are underlined or bordered words and graphics that have web addresses (also know as a URL -- Universal Resource Locator) embedded in them. By clicking a hyperlink, you jump to a particular page in a particular web site. You can easily identify a hyperlink. Hyperlink text is a different color from the rest of the text in a web site.
This is an example of what hyperlink text looks like.
Now, click the hyperlink.

Click forward...
