    • Useful Links - are located on the upper tab. Clicking on any of the categories on the left will load that categories link content into the panel on the right. Scroll through the links to find what you are looking for. Clicking on the link of your choice will launch that Web site in a new window.
    • Favorite Links - are located on the lower tab. Favorite Links has additional categories and links provided by the Family Website Administrator. You can navigate through them the same way you would Useful Links.
  5. You and your visitors have the option to suggest a site by clicking on the Suggest a Site button in the upper right of the window. [ Example ]
