If you are a beginner to the Internet or maybe just want to get further information on what it is all about then take a look at this Newbie Guide or read the Polaris Guide are two very good starting points for learning the basics.
<p>
Everyone should take the time to read The offical World Wide Web FAQ. It is full of many frequently asked questions and answers that people most commonly ask.
</p>
<p>
The Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet is another comprehensive, but more technical guide to the many different aspects of the Internet.

<ul>
One of the most important aspects of having a Internet connection is without doubt being able to use email. Here is a beginners guide to effective email.
<p>
Anonymous email. If you've ever wanted to send email to someone without them knowing who you are then look here.
<p>
Email address codes. If you've ever wanted to know what those letters mean in an email address then look no further.
<p>
Looking for someone? Try using <a href="http://www.whowhere.com/" target="_top">PeopleSearch</a>.
