Once you have some favorite places it will become much easier. I use my home page as a place to keep my favorite links as well as links I am currently exploring and links I recommend to others. Most of the web is just lists of links, or lists of lists of links, etc. If you are new to surfing the web you should first learn about Search Engines . These are how you will be able to find what you are looking for on the web.
Search engines catalog the text of millions of web pages.
The search engine may have last visited the site months ago, so the sites they suggest may not always work or the page may have changed since the search engine last visited it. There are many different search engines , typically you will find one you like to use and learn to use it better than the others. My personal favorite is Alta Vista , although I used to find Lycos to be the most useful. An alternative to starting with a search engine site is to start at a site that tries to be a catalog to everything on the web. Be sure to book mark several of these as they are all excellent jumping off places for exploring.
