- When you print a page from the site, the color scheme automatically changes to black on a white background. However, many images that have black background will not change.

- Most of our pages are written in three different "levels" of difficulty--Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. These pages have a special button graphic at the top. Simply click on the button corresponding to the level you wish to see, and it will appear in place of the level you were viewing.
- Most of our pages are translated into Spanish. These pages have a special sun graphic at the top right. Simply click on the language you wish to see, and you will switch to this language
