Following Links

When you slide your mouse over certain parts of the CNN web page, do you notice that the text changes? Some links become underlined when you hold your mouse over them, and some change size or color. When you scroll over the World News button on the left side of the page, for instance, the dark blue button turns a lighter shade of blue. These changes, along with the image of the hand with the pointer finger extended, are clues that the text you're seeing is actually a link to a different page.

Now, let's try to follow a link from the CNN main web page. Scroll with your mouse until the cursor becomes a small hand over the link to World News on the left side of the page. Use your left mouse button to click once on the link. You should now be on the World News page. Since the news changes so frequently, this page will look different almost every time you go to it. To make sure you're on the correct page now, check to see if the top of the page looks something like this:

Notice that the button that says "World" is now red instead of blue. This lets you know that you're on the World News page.
