How to Navigate this site.

First Things First, Make This Text More Readable With most browsers: depress "Crtl" key with the "+" key several times to make text larger. ("Ctrl" & "-" = smaller text size.) If that doesn't work, use the "View" menu.
To get the most out of this site To get the most out of this site Internet Explorer users may need to set their browsers to "Allow Blocked Content" [which has nothing to do with allowing porn or other objectionable material]. The geniuses at Microsoft have decided that Internet Explorer, which they put on your Windows computer whether you want it or not, by default blocks scripting languages like javascript which are used to animate and increase the interactivity of web sites. By default it also blocks scripts used by CDs and DVDs, limiting their playability by Windows Media Player! Again, monopoly geniuses at work!
This is their explanation: “What is active content and why does Internet Explorer restrict it? “Active content is interactive or animated content used on websites. It includes ActiveX controls and web browser add-ons, which are small programs that are used extensively on the Internet. Active content can make web browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more. “Why does Internet Explorer restrict active content? “Internet Explorer restricts this content because occasionally these programs can malfunction or give you content you don't want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information about you, damage information on your computer, install software without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only allow active content if you completely trust the publisher or the website it's coming from. “How can I allow active content? “If Internet Explorer restricts active content that you are sure you want to allow, click the Information bar, and then click Allow blocked content.”
What to do? First, determine whether or not you are using Internet Explorer. If you are using a Windows computer and you don't know, then odds are that's what you are using. A browser is an application for translating code posted on the worldwide web into graphic presentations on your desktop. Savvy users install alternative browsers and know what they are. Verizon, Yahoo, Google and other communications monopolies disguise IE with their logos and advertising. To find out the true identity of your browser, go to the “Help” menu and click on “About.” IE by any other name is still Internet Explorer.
How to "Allow Blocked Content" You can temporarily "allow blocked content" for this site by right-clicking on the information bar just above the browser pane and below the menu bar, if you can see it [the background colors on my site obscure it on some systems]. Select "Allow Blocked Content." A better solution is to permanently "Allow blocked content." While there are some risks, especially if you visit sites of ill-repute, I'd advise using this setting [always run an up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware program like Trend Micro or Norton].
To allow any website to run scripts and ActiveX controls on your computer In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab, and then, in the Settings list, scroll down to the Security section. Select the Allow active content to run in files on My Computer check box, and then click OK.
To allow any CD to run scripts and ActiveX controls on your computer In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab, and then, in the Settings list, scroll down to the Security section. Select the Allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer check box, and then click OK.
Foresake IE, Use a Better Browser My long-term advice is: “install a better browser.” The best one is Mozilla Firefox, which is free, and compared with IE is more hassle-free and more secure. It has a solid track record. I've been using it for years. Release 3.0 appears to load much faster. For those requiring client-side File Transfer Protocol, FireFTP, a solid, free FTP add-on, is now available. Click on the Firefox logo on the right to download and install Firefox now.
I also highly recommend Apple's Safari browser for either Windows or Mac. With the Safari 3.1.2 release (July 2008), Apple appears to have solved some issues with color handling and compatibility with javascript that plagued earlier editions. It has a very attractive interface, and it's blistering fast! Get it bundled with iTunes, an excellent application for handling your audio needs.
