Quick-Loading:
Our web pages are mostly small and modular; they should load quickly for you.
We've kept our in-line images (photographs and such) small as well,
so you should turn *on* your images now
if you had them turned off.
We promise that we won't overload you with graphics.
What's This Page?
This
page is all about how to get the most out of your visit to our site.
Let's Go!
If you're in a hurry, want to get right to the content,
and skip the rest of this "How To" page, the
Site Overview
has links to all our major areas. This blue
button image will take you there and is our standard
clickable image for any logical next step.
What about shortcuts?
You can select from our
Cayman Fast Track
options anytime (located at the bottom of almost every page)
to jump immediately to the beginning of any of our major sections.
There's even a detailed
Index
for our entire web-site, which also includes help and other shortcuts.
Why does your page look like this?
How this site actually looks on your monitor depends, in large part, on your browser
software and how you have it configured. If you're having problems viewing our site,
please check out our
tech notes section.
For comparison, there's an image of our welcome page there to show you how
the optimum version should look, as well as browser setup tips.
How should I use the information I find on your site?
We've tried our best to keep everything here reasonably accurate and current,
but you should read our special Notice
page to be sure that you understand our legal disclaimers.
If you are considering anything other than simply viewing our
site on your computer monitor, you must read that page.
How do I get more information?
We've provided an individual email link for each of our sponsors (and other organizations)
so you can contact them directly and immediately get their latest information.
Every sponsor page has an email button at the top of their page
that looks just like this image here (this one points to
echo@cayman.org,
which is *only* an auto-reply).
Is my email setup right?
If your browser software is properly setup,
you may simply select this button and then send email directly to that sponsor.
One common error is to have an incomplete return address so that the sponsor
is unable to reply to your request.
Please be sure that yours is correctly setup.
Can I test it here?
Sure. If you'd like to test your browser/email setup, select this link (or button)
and send your test message to
echo@cayman.org.
"Echo" will automatically send you back a reply if everything's setup OK.
If you don't hear back soon, re-check and verify your setup thoroughly.
Please note that *no* questions are answered at this address.
How do I know where I am?
Every page has it's unique URL address in the lower right hand
corner. For example, this page's URL is http://www.cayman.org/howto.htm.
What about Cayman?
Well, that's why we're all here, so let's move on to our short
Welcome to Cayman,
which will then link us to the rest of the site.
