My html coding confuses a lot of browsers sometimes and the page opens a jumbled up mess. Try reloading the page a couple of times and if that don't work please let me know.
Several links open a new window, so the page you left is still open under the new one. But be careful about what window you close, or you'll find there is no way to get back handily.
For the most part links are styled blue-unfollowed, red-active and purple-visited. Off-site links are usually underlined and there are some "white" unfollowed links that underline when active and turn gray when visited. Off-site products are usually not underlined.
At the top of each page in a sub-directory are links to take you back to the. . .
Directory you're in : Sub-directory you're in :
On the left side of the page:
At the top:
There's an image just to make all the pages look alike (click it to go home).
A simple search engine. Noo.. it's not that you're simple; it's just got one type of entry criteria.
Then ... a directory of the stuff that's on that page or in that section.
Links to take you to the STORE - where you'll find stuff that you really need to buy.
In the middle are links to:
HELP - the one that probably brought you here,
INFORMATION - some stuff you probably don't want to know anyway.
Advertisers text links and banners that I recommend and don't make enough off of, but if you're feeling sorry for the time and money I spend putting some of this together ... buy somethin'. Don't worry, if I start having trouble sackin' up all the hundred dollar bills ... I'll give you a call.
At the bottom is another directory listing.
Some images can be viewed in high resolution when you click them or a small magnifying glass under the image. For the most part look for a double blue border that designats the ones that qualify.

Some links are followed by icons which are usually not clickable (you'll need to click on the preceding text) but do have meaning:
some kinda sound (wav, mid, ra, etc.)
music (mp3, mid, ra, wav, wma, etc.)
a movie (avi, mov, qt, etc.)
At the bottom of the page you're going to find some of this stuff:
Unabashed self-promotion with a banner that links to one of my other sites:
Cruisin' - A Little Drag Racin', A Little Nostalgia And My Favorite Rides
Make sure your search terms are spelled correctly. If Sound-Alike Matching
is turned on, the search engine will attempt to find words that sound similar
to your search terms, but it's always best to try to spell the search terms
correctly.
top
Use multiple words
Using multiple words will return more refined results than a single word. For
example, typing our free product will return more relevant results
than typing just product. (Keep in mind that relevant results are
returned even if they don't contain all query terms.)
Example: our free producttop
Use similar words
The more similar words you use in a search, the more relevant your results
will be.
Example: safe secure privacy securitytop
Use appropriate capitalization
Capitalize proper nouns, and remember that lower-case words will match any
case. For example, typing search will return all documents containing
the words search, Search, and SEARCH. Typing Search,
however, will instruct the search engine to look only for the capitalized word.
Example: Search Template Referencetop
Use quotation marks
Use quotation marks to find words which must appear adjacent to each other,
for example, "our pledge to you." Otherwise, the search results
will include the word our, pledge, to,
and the word you, but not necessarily in that order. The words
may appear anywhere, and in any order, within the document.
Note: if you are using the Advanced Search Form with radio buttons for "any,"
"all," and "phrase," then quotes can only be used when the "any" radio button
is selected. Quotes are ignored if the "all" or "phrase" radio buttons are selected.
Example: "our pledge to you"top
Use plus (+) or minus (-)
Use a plus sign when your search term or phrase must appear in the search results.
Use a minus sign to indicate undesirable term(s). The plus sign tells the search
engine that a certain word or phrase is required in the search results, and
a minus sign indicates that a word or phrase must be absent in the search results.
Note: A phrase must be contained within quotation marks. Leave no spaces between
the plus or minus sign and the term.
Note: if you are using the Advanced Search Form with radio buttons for "any,"
"all," and "phrase," then plus and minus can only be used when the "any" radio
button is selected. Plus and minus are ignored if the "all" or "phrase" radio
buttons are selected.
Example: +"template language"top
Use field searches
Field searches allow you to create specific searches for words that appear
in a specific part of a document. A field search can be performed on body text
(body:), title text (title:), alt text (alt:), meta description (desc:), meta
key words (keys:), URL (url:) or meta target key words (target:). The field
name should be in lower-case and immediately followed by a colon. There should
be no spaces between the colon and the search term.
Note: The field searches can only be followed by a word or phrase. Phrases
must be contained within quotation marks.
Note: if you are using the Advanced Search Form with a list box for the field
name, then field names can only be entered before a word or phrase when the
"any" option is selected. Specific field names are ignored if any other Advanced
Search Form field is selected in the list box.
Examples:
title:about
desc:"Our Team"
keys:login
body:security
alt:"join now"
url:help
target:Atomztop
Use wildcards
Wildcard searches can expand the number of matches for a particular request.
The * character is used as the wildcard character.
For instance, searching for wh* will find the words what,
why, when, whether, and any other word
that starts with wh.
Searching for *her* will find the words here, whether,
together, gathering, and any other word that contains
her anywhere in the word.
Wildcards may be combined with the standard plus (+) and minus (-) modifiers,
quotes for phrases, as well as the field search specifiers. +wh* -se*ch will find all pages which have a word that starts
with wh and which does not contain a word that starts with se
and ends with ch. "wh* are" will find the phrases where are,
what are, why are, etc.
Example:
Examples: wh*
"wh* are"
415-*-*top
