Please Note : It is a good idea to print this assignment before following the screen directions.

Another way to do the assignment is to have two browser windows open and do the steps in one and switch to the other for entering your answers. I suggest you try this.

Directions will be written for the FireFox, Mozilla or Netscape Navigator Browsers. Equivalent directions or terms for Windows Explorer will be in {Brackets.}

Open your browser. Answer the following questions.

1) What is the name of the page that opens automatically?

2) What is the URL of the page that opens automatically?

Click on Bookmarks {Add to Favorites Star with a green Plus sign} then click"Bookmark This Page") {Add to Favorites}.

Type the following URL into the Location Window {Address Window} then hit the enter key.

http://egreetings.com/

Highlight the following URL and type the keyboard keys Ctrl + C at the same time to copy the URL: http://www.bluemountain.com

Click the mouse pointer in the Location bar {Address} of your browser to highlight the URL that is in it already. Type Ctrl + V at the same time to paste the URL you copied in the place of the highlighted URL.

Click on Bookmarks {Favorites} then click add bookmark {Add} for each of the two.

Highlight the following URL and type the keyboard keys Ctrl + C at the same time to copy the URL: http://www.evite.com

Click the mouse pointer in the Location bar {Address} of your browser to highlight the URL that is in it already. Type Ctrl + V at the same time to paste the URL you copied in the place of the highlighted URL.

Click on Bookmarks {Favorites} then click add bookmark {Add} for each of the two.

Click on Bookmarks {Favorites} and answer the following.

3) What is the "name" (it's the page name) for each of the three bookmarked website pages you added to Bookmarks {Favorites}?

3a
3b
3c

Click on Bookmarks {Favorites} then select either of the two postcard sites.

4) Send a postcard to yourself (preferred), someone in our class or someone you know.

5) Click on Bookmarks {Favorites} in the browser text menus then click on Manage Bookmarks {Organize Favorites}

In the Bookmarks/Library Window highlight the "Bookmarks Menu" to the left, click File at the top menu, then click New Folder {click on the New Folder}. The folder will appear with the naming area higlighted.

Type in the Folder Name BU89 Bookmarks.

Drag the three bookmarks you added, one at a time, to the new folder and drop them into it.

Open the folder and see if they are there.

Use Cruzio's Pick a Name for Your Website! http://www.cruzio.com/support/domain_web/whois.html

It's a small window on the left side (you may have to scroll down to see it) and see if the name Ambrosini.com is registered.

Then check your own name or a business name idea you have.
Note: This checker only checks .com, .net and .edu. For other extensions (com .net .org .info .biz .tv .us .name .cn .com.cn .net.cn .org.cn .ws .me), use:
http://www.directnic.com/ Availability Search
http://www.directnic.com/whois/ WhoIs Search

6) Who is the registered owner of ambrosini.com?

7) What is the ambrosini.com business and where is it located?

8) What did you discover about the domain name for your last name?
8) Comments:

Type in the URL http://www.Google.com

On the menu bar of the browser window go to Edit > Preferences {Tools > Internet Options}.

Make Google your default page that automatically opens when you start a browser session. Test it by opening a new browser window.

9) Right click on the Google logo. Click on Copy Image Location and then right click in the box below to paste the location into the answer box. {OR In Explorer, right click then click on Properties. Note the images file name and copy into the answer box below}

10) For webpage navigation practice using website navigation instead of the browser navigation tools, type amazon.com in your browser window and find the Newsboys CD Thrive.

10a What is the price for the CD new?

10b What is the price for the CD used?

11) On your own (without directions) try to do the following. If you can't figure them out, no worries, I'll demo these in class if I haven't already done so.

• Add an icon to your browser's toolbars. (hint: right click a toolbar)
• Identify the Tabs Menu and add one or two useful site URLs that you want fast access to everytime you open the browser. (hint: this is similar to bookmarking but you always wee it as a tab that is alreay active)
• Find and display your browser "History"
• Determine how to clear all Private Data and how to clear just a selected item from the history
