The Home Page consists of images that can be clicked on to open another image or page (called anchors or hyperlinks). Four of the images open other pages or files. Where the small hand appears, you can click. One image has no hyperlink, that of Andy and Zhen on Forever Day. Leave your arrow for a second over the picture, and an "Alt Tag" will appear, with a title for the picture.
The link from the Chinese woman with the instrument opens whatever your computer has set to play music (.mp3) files. You must have your speakers turned on.You can turn off the music by pressing the back button on your mouse (or at the top left of the screen). Usually your music program has a stop button to stop the music as well.
Two other images are what are called "Image Maps". This means that there is more than one spot that you can click to take you somewhere else. The easiest Image Map to explore is the open diary image. Most of the image takes you to the first page of the PhotoDiary. However, there is another spot to click on. Move the arrow slowly over the picture until there is a break - it disappears, then appears again (may be small and hard to see). Click there. An additional clue can be found by watching the link address as it appears at the bottom of your browser screen. If it changes, you have moved to a new hot spot.
The other Image Map is that of three of us on the steps. Believe it or not, there are ten hot spots within this picture!. Move your mouse slowly over the picture, looking for the hand to appear. Be careful- sometimes the boundaries between hot spots are very thin. Have fun!
Afer you have found the extra link on the open book, try the Steps picture. If you can't find all ten, I have listed the spots for you. So there is no cheating (on the Cheat Sheet) before you have tried it out, I have listed all the hot spots on a separate page. Click HERE to cheat on the Cheat Sheet!
