How to Find Your Way Around the Web Site

The HEIR Home page always contains the latest headlines of news or opinion pieces for the Georgia homeschooling community, followed by informational link buttons under Contents and by Interactive links. The headline items are listed chronologically, and as they become less timely, we remove the link from the Home page, but they are still available under both the "News Archives" link button and via both the News and Contents items in the menu bar at the bottom of most pages. If you are new to HEIR's web site, please take a few minutes to explore using the menu bar.

Suggestions for making our content more accessible are always welcomed. If you have questions or comments about the web site operations (links that don't work, or links we should add, what was hard to find, etc.) then send them to webmaster@heir.org. If you have questions or comments about HEIR or about the content of our web site, send them to info@heir.org.

White is generally for HEIR navigation pages. The colors do not show up at all on some monitors, so we have begun including:

Page Type Icons:

News - Documents - Opinions

Pages that have neither our logo,

, nor any of the above icons are probably on someone else's site over which we have no control. You can be sure if your browser displays the current address, also known as a URL (Universal Reference Locator) - just check whether the "http://" is followed by "www.heir.org" or not. If so, then its ours.

Each HEIR page includes a menu bar like the following. Just click on the button to take you to the desired section of our site.

About HEIR ||| Home ||| Contents ||| News ||| Opinion

About HEIR contains our Vision, Mission, and Principles and then contact information. Home takes you to our top-level web page, described above. Contents takes you to a map of our site by subject area. News takes you to the headlines page with links to the news and opinion pieces in chronological order. Opinion takes you to our OpEd page.

We generally do not include on our pages buttons that say "Back" because we don't always know how you got to the page. It may not be how we expect. Instead, we strongly urge users to find the Back feature on their browsers. On IE (MS Internet Explorer) versions with which we are familiar there is a browser button for this. On Netscape versions with which we are familiar there is such a button, plus the right mouse button gives you a very convenient Back choice.

Whenever you see some text that seems garbled, try getting your browser to get the page again. This feature may be called Refresh or Reload.

By the way, if anyone has some slicker looking images to donate to improve on our Page Type icons, please let us know.
