Sometimes it will get you where you're going faster, but there are no guarantees in cyberspace. Every page on the Web has a unique address called a URL, which stands for Universal Resource Locator. If you know the address of the site you want to visit, you can type it in. Remember that it must be typed correctly. After visiting this sight, back up until you're here again.
Pictures can be hyperlinks as well.
As you move your mouse around a web page, watch for the arrow to change to a pointing finger. That's your clue that you're on a link.
