You use a search program that looks through all the pages trying to find things you are interested in. If you want to see a page on Gojo Ryo (Okinawa style karate), you visit a search page and let it look for you! Alta Vista is one of the best, but you can even use the one built into Netscape. Just click on Net Search on the Netscape button bar.
When you find your way to something interesting you can save it by clicking on the word bookmarks on the Netscape button bar and then click on add bookmark. Next time you want to go there all you have to do is click on bookmarks and then on the name of the site you liked. It takes you back there again.
When you have collected a nice number of really groovy sites you can program your own home page and have Netscape start with your home page as the start page. Your home page can be inside your computer, so only you see it. Netscape goes to your hard disk and gets it (if you tell Netscape to do so).
You can program your own web page easily by using the help I give you in the section on HTML.
In order to give you an idea of what can be done I am including three Web pages for your use. If you connect to the Internet first and then tell Netscape to go to these pages, then you can surf on the WWW from these pages directly!
This program is directed towards teachers and students, so I´ve included pages that should be of special interest for many of them:
