Page Layout Conventions
This site follows a set of conventions for the page layout. Every
page on this site has its content surrounded by Tabs
at the top, with Bread Crumbs under,
and on the left the Shortcuts and Search
tabs.
The Shortcuts tab houses the Jump Tool and
links to other pages. When a link in the shortcut tab has a 
icon attached it means that there are other pages below. The 
icon indicates that the shortcut is current and shows links to
other pages existing below.
On long pages you may find a table of contents on the top right
corner. This provides shortcuts to subdivisions within the page.
To facilitate printing, certain pages such as resumes will open
in a new window that does not follow a standard layout.

Navigation
You have several ways to navigate through this site.
Tabs
The site is divided into four sections that you can reach by
selecting the corresponding tabs at the top of each page. The
current tab is highlighted. Links to all sub pages existing under
a tab are listed in the Shortcuts tab in the top left corner of
the page.

Bread Crumbs
Below the navigation tabs you have "bread crumbs".
These links help you to keep track on where the current page is
located on the site. You can go back up in the site tree by clicking
on the different links.
TIP: Our "bread crumbs" are not keeping track
of your navigation history. If you want to go back to previous
location, use the "Back" button from your browser.

Links
You can identify links as they are in red or
in orange bold face that, in many
browsers, will turn into blue underlined
text when the mouse is placed directly over it. Red links are
connecting you within ByYourSite's network. Orange links send
you to pages outside of ByYourSite's network and will load into
a new window.
To facilitate printing, certain pages such as resumes will open
in a new window that does not follow a standard layout.
NOTE: If you click on a link and nothing seems to happen
make sure that the page didn't load in a browser window that is
already opened but is hidden behind your current window. To avoid
this confusion, it is good practice to close the new window when
you are done viewing its content and that you wish to come back
to ByYourSite's web site.
TIP: If you are using Internet Explorer you can open any
link in a new window by holding the shift key when clicking on
the link. In Netscape you can have the same effect by clicking
with the mouse right button and select "Open in new window"
in the pop-up menu.

Tools
There are two tools on each standard page: the search tool and
the jump tool.
Search Tool
The search tool allows you to search for key words in ByYourSite,
the entire web and other sites as well as word definition using
various dictionaries.
To perform a search, type your key word(s) into the "Look
for" text box, select the location you want to search using
the "In" drop down menue and click on the "go"
button. The search results will load into a new window.
You need to have JavaScript enabled on your browser to use this
feature.

Jump tool
If you know exactly where you want to go into the site, you can
use the "Jump" tool on the shortcut tab on the top left
corner of each page. Entries in this drop down menu are organized
according to the site map.
To Jump just select the location you wish to go to.
