Harvey's Website List

You can save your favourites or bookmarks to make a file like this.  Or create one from scratch - I'm using the free NVU editor.  Or you can copy and paste web addresses into an email message and send it to yourself.

These are sites my family created.  They show that anyone can make a website and put it up on the internet.
Software Spirit  Three Generation Watercolour Artists  Robb  Central Peace Health Council   Volleyball  Club   Spirit River Museum  
Professionally made sites may be better:  SR Museum 2              

Some useful websites:  Wikipedia   Maps  Weather  Revenue Canada   Telus Directory    Dictionary    Internet Public Library
 Thesaurus   Community history books    Regional Library   ebay   amazon  
Gutenberg free library of ebooks and audio books:  US, Canadian  Most of these books are old.  You can volunteer to help scan, type or check the books.  I helped with the book Governor Brock's wife wrote in the 1700's and it was fun.
PhotoBucket lets you store your photos on their server, free.  You can email links to friends.  Most pictures posted to forums are stored on sites like photobucket.  

Got an email you that is hard to believe?  Check it here before forwarding it:    urban legends: about.com, snopes.com  

Forums are websites where people discuss interesting things:
  World Wide Seniors  RV.net  Financial Webring   Bleeping Computer  Sienna Club  
Forums are a great way for people to help each other.  The RV and car sites are great for finding the best way to deal with a problem.  Ditto for the computer site.  You can ask a question and get answers from ordinary people and experts.  Or just chat.

A little change in the address makes a big difference:   whitehouse.gov   whitehouse.org  

The best search engine is Google because it lists sites ("hits") in order of  how popular they are with people (except the ones at the top that have paid to be put there).  www.google.ca    
When searching, enter words you expect to see on the pages that you are looking for.  If the word MUST be on the page, put a plus sign before it.  If the word must not be on the page, put a minus sign before it.  Phrases should be in quotation marks (great for checking for plaigerism on student work).  Example:  search for: "hair loss" +natural -transplant  (many will prefer -natural).
