Lynne's email newsletter is one, long document that requires scrolling to find the different sections; one must examine it in a linear manner or risk missing some critical information.

Lynne's Dance News on the Web has navigation options that allow the reader to go to sections directly rather than scanning the entire newsletter.

Navigation Bars. Throughout the news and the address book sections of the web site there are repeating "boxes" that contain self-descriptive links to enable to reader to go to the described section. In addition, there are also links within a section, such the Saturday and Sunday listings, to further enable selecting specific information.

Links. Almost any text that is blue and underlined is a link to some other page or section of a page.

Caveat 1! Some links are external, that is, they take you to a web site outside Lynne's Dance News, such as sites for studios, instructors, or organizations. Some are email links, making sending email easier for some users. All the links on the navigation bars are internal; they take you to the indicated section of Lynne's Dance News.

Caveat 2! The General News section often contains important information about the site or the dance community. It might be useful to take a quick look at this section before heading elsewhere; that is why it is near the top of the home page.

Caveat 3! Read the link text. It likely takes you to the section indicated by its text; however, if it does not, please send a note to the web master; an email link to the web master can be found at the top of the first section of Lynne's Dance News on the Web.

Structure. For those who might be interested, Lynne's Dance News on the Web is divided into several sections, primarily the weekly news and the address book; for convenience, the address book is also subdivided into several separate web pages. Each major section contains a link on its navigation bar that takes you to the other, major section of the news. Most of the links on the weekly section simply provide quick scrolling, for, much like the email version, the weekly news section is one, long web page. Though perhaps transparent to most viewers, and rather obvious to those knowledgeable about web design, these simple strategies not only make managing the web site easier, but they represent the two innovations that led to the existence of the World Wide Web, internal and external links.

Browsers. Though web designers can control some aspects of the page display, the user (you) can control many via your browser preferences. For example, most links are blue and underlined, but you can change their display via browser preferences. Usually a default setting on your browser changes the link's color after a link has been used. The browser can also be set to change text size. These are beyond the control of the web designer. If web text is too small or too large, you can change it via your browser.
