Help on Using the Site

This page provides some basic help on how to navigate the web site and what you can expect on various pages.

There are three navigation aids on the site:

1. The main navigation bar at the top of each page
2. Context menus on the left side of each page
3. Alphabetic Lists
4. embedded links within the page you are viewing

The Main navigation Bar

The main navigation bar is at the top of every page on the site, and is the main navigation aid to the major sections of the site.  If you get lost, just go to the top of the current page and renavigate to the section you were in.

Context Menus

These are menus that sit on the left hand side of each page, and change depending on which section and subsection you are viewing.  For example

Items marked with a have a sub-menu below them and this will expand when you click it.  Items with a is an open sub0-menu and may show additional sub-menus and/or items to view marked with .  For example

Alphabetic Lists

These provide indexing of pages that are classified according to the alphabet.   For example, in the Fuchsia Compendium each page is navigated to by clicking on an alphabetic character will display the page showing the content.

Embedded Links

These are normally marked with a coloured text, and change colour when you visit them.

Printer Friendly pages are marked with a and display a roughly formatted page that is suitabe for printing.  It is a sad fact that Web browsers (and in particular Internet Explorer) cannot print web pages as displayed on screen.  As a result special pages need to be developed to allow you to print pages in a readable format.

In Closing

If you ever lose your way on the site, just go to the top of the current page and navigate to the top level of the section you were viewing.

The navigation of the site has been simplified on several levels, and once you get used to how it works I am sure you will find it intuitive and quick to find the pages you want.
