Navigation within a webpage has a variety of ways to move about:

• Buttons, such as this - clicking on this button will do nothing, as this is an example.

• Hyperlinks: This was the first version of links used on websites. These are text based links that typically show up as part of a paragraph of text. The common way to notice, a hyperlink is when the words are underlined and a different colour. Here is an example for you to see. Clicking on this link will do nothing.

• Titles and Images - Sometimes there are sections that have images or titles. When you hover your mouse cursor over any links, the cursor changes from a pointer to a finger. This is a hint that the item you are hovering over is a link to something else. Here are some example cursors.

Try hovering your mouse cursor over the title or image below and notice how your cursor changes.
