This website is [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]]'s personal guide to using the [[Internet]]. It reflects my limited experience of using the web, mostly via a computer running [[Microsoft Windows]]. The site is currently rudimentary, an incomplete [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_in_progress work in progress]. Pages that are linked to but not yet created appear as [[red link]]s.
  
== Getting started ==
+
The companion to this site is my [http://interdb.org Internet Database], which contains a hodge-podge of poorly-digested information about people, websites and other stuff connected with the Internet.
  
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]
+
Words to the wise: "Learning to use the Internet is a full-time job."
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]
+
 
* [http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce MediaWiki release mailing list]
+
==Starting points==
 +
All Categories are attached, directly or indirectly, to [[:Category:Root]].
 +
 
 +
An explanatory list of the main Categories and Sub-Categories can be found here: [[Category List]]
 +
 
 +
The following pages were intended as starting points (but they are incomplete and likely to be replaced by others):
 +
*[[How to use a web browser]]
 +
*[[How to make a website]].
 +
 
 +
See also the manually-created [[Site Map]].
 +
 
 +
==Is this website a wiki?==
 +
This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], the wiki software used by [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]. That might give the impression that the website is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki]. But in fact the only authorized user is [[User:Michael|yours truly]].
