The website is easy to navigate. There are some tips that are handy to know though.

The title image at the top of the page will return you to your last location on the web. This has the same effect as clicking the back arrow on your browser window. This may save you a few hand movements. The same thing happens for most photographs or images when you view the enlarged version. Simply click the image again to go back to the same location that you were before.
Links that you have not visited yet are blue in color. They will turn to red and in bold italics when the mouse pointer is moved over the link (if the link has not been visited yet). Once the link has been visited, the link turns to steel blue. While the link is being used (not supported by all browsers), the color will be dark blue and will be bold and in this typeface*.

A link may be for a different page, or a section of a different page or even the same page you are already on. In the case where the link is on the same page, the link will already be steel blue. If a link takes you to a page and the link does not take you to the top, you might consider scrolling to the top of the page after you read the information that the link took you to. That way, you will know if there is something else you want to read on the same page as its link will now be steel blue and you may think you have already visited the entire page. Visit the Site Map to see if there are any pages you missed. Keep in mind that links sometimes fail to change in color even after visiting. Links change color as a feature of the browser. Older browsers do worst than newer browsers. Even the latest browsers may fail to change the color. The amount of memory available at the time can affect the change. Regardless of how much memory you have, the memory may already be allocated for some other purpose so browsers do not always change the color as expected.
If you notice a link is in italics, it is to an external website. LowenKruse.com is not responsible for the content on other websites.
You may notice an asterisk (*) beside some words. These are links that will give you additional information when you move the mouse pointer over the link. Other regular text and graphic links also have additional hover tip information when you move the mouse pointer over the link. Sometimes there is no clue that a hover tip exist so move your mouse around a bit, often you will be pleasantly surprised. The hover tip will be displayed below and to the left of, right of, or centered under the link. If the link is close to the bottom of the screen, you may not have enough room to be able to view all of the contents of the hover tip. In these cases, scroll the display up and then revisit the hover tip.
Accessibility: If you are not able to use a mouse, you can move from one link to another on a webpage by using the tab key. If you need to use the right mouse button, keep in mind that you can do the equivalent of a right mouse click by pressing Shift F10 on the link (Windows).
The quick menu at the bottom will get you to major sections of the website. Notice that each menu item at the bottom has one letter underlined. The same letter is used for more than one item. Using the Alt key plus the letter will rotate through all choices for the letter.* When the one you want is highlighted, you can press the Enter key to go to that page.
If you think any text is too small, your browser allows you to change the size of displayed text. If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, Internet Explorer and FireFox will allow you to change text sizes if you hold the Ctrl key down when rolling the mouse wheel. If you do not see an instant change it could mean your system is slower or is maxed out on memory. Continued rolling back and forth without waiting for the change to take effect will max out slower systems and cause them to hang! Faster systems will see instant feedback.
