Links to Use Every Day - Just for Clark County, Wisconsin

Tips to using links:

If you click on a link and it gives you an error message, try this: In the box that lists the URL (or address of the desired page), erase the portion on the right until you reach a / (slash line). Press enter. You should see your result or a NEW error message will appear. Continue erasing using the described method until you reach a page without an error message.  In some cases, you may reach a directory listing for that site. If you reach the domain name (that is, the portion immediately following the http://), and this does not provide a page, then assume the page and its domain are no longer in operation (use with caution as some sites temporarily shut down).

*Example:
http://www.mid-wi.com/rural/ag/veterinary.htm
http://www.mid-wi.com/rural/ag
http://www.mid-wi.com/rural

More examples of domain naming techniques:
http://www.mypage.domainname.com
http://www.domainname.com/~mypage
When you see that curly thing (tilde) before a name, it is a page that does not belong to the web host; it belongs to an individual, organization or business. That curly thing (tilde) is next to the number 1 on your keyboard.

Remember, web sites come and go incredibly fast.  If there is information you need, save it to your computer now.
