Kung Fu Power Tip Home:

This page should answer the question:
I want maintenance done on my website. How do I tell you what page I want changed?

Target Audience: New computer users, people who know very little about web development.

Think of the internet as a library.
Think of a web site as a book.
Think of a web page as a page in a book, only instead of a regular page number, it is accessed by a url (or Uniform Resource Locator), like:
http://www.kfdev.com/index.php

Here is a useful tip on how to use Internet Explorer, Netscape and your email client. You think I type all the links I email? Oh no.
Oh no-nonny-no. I copy and paste them. This works the same for netscape too, so use this and impress your friends! I would have copied Adam on this too, but having not made his acquaintance yet, I hesitated to send this perhaps unwanted advice, which I unflinchingly deliver to you guys. :)

When you want to specify a page or URL, you can look at the Address Bar of the browser and see the exact location of the page you want to have changed, added or deleted.

Next, just click in the Address bar (a single click, not a double-click), and all the text of the url will be selected in the Address Bar. Then hit Command+C to copy it, and switch to your email app and hit Command+V to paste it. That's gotta be easier than snapshotting and e-mailing 6 files to describe the 6 hero photos.

And that is the power user tip for the day. :)

If this helped you at all, you might want to read more about URLs here.
