Navigation
Most site navigation elements are grouped on the left side of each page.
Mini-Menu
A ‘mini-menu’ may be found in the upper left corner of all site pages. It lists, Home, Join Us, Donate, Sitemap, and Help links.
Buttons
Our main navigation buttons appear down the left side of the page. Each button is identified by a unique photo and text denoting the section name.
Drop-Down Menus
As you move your mouse cursor along the left side button bar, you will notice that animated menus will appear to the right of certain buttons. These drop-down menus let you navigate further into the site without having to click several times. Just allow your mouse cursor to hover (pause without clicking) over a button with a menu, then move the cursor to the right and down and click on your selection. Some menus have submenus, indicated by small green arrows on the right side of that item. Hovering over the items causes the submenu to appear to the right. Just move your mouse cursor to the right to move onto a submenu and so on. This may take a little getting used to.
If the menus seem to "stick" open, just click
your mouse anywhere on the page that does not contain
a link. This will cause the menus to retract.
