How to Use This Site

The L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology, Dianetics and Racism ("Scientology Racism") web site is hosted on SolitaryTrees.net.

The site is organized in sections, in somewhat the same manner as a book:

Prologue contains preliminary information about the site and its purpose;
Background contains information explaining some of Scientology's practices, providing context for the Church's racism;
Racism is the "meat" of our site, containing scriptural quotes and other information about the racist aspects of Scientology;
Appendix contains supplementary files, like Glossary and Abbreviations;
About contains descriptions of our site's features.

Although the primary pages of this site are arranged in a sequence, it is not necessary to read them in order—simply select the page of interest from the navseq to go directly to that page

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Note: Microsoft discontinued development of IEmac in 2003.

Note: How IE Causes Problems [offsite] discusses IEwin bugginess (ver. 6.0 and earlier).

Note: IEBlog [offsite] describes the fixes in IEwin ver. 7.

This web site looks best in any browser … except Microsoft Internet Explorer (see examples). We use CSS to style our pages, but IE does not support some elements nor correctly interpret others. If you experience problems while viewing our site in IE, we suggest that you report the bugs [offsite] and use a different browser; for instance, the most recent versions of Firefox, iCab, Konqueror, Opera, and Safari all do a good job with CSS (all but Firefox have passed the Acid2 Test ).

We adhere to web standards — Microsoft should, too.

Links

Links are red and underlined in the page contents; links in navigation menus, footers, etc. are boldfaced and not underlined.

We use small icons to indicate additional information about links or text. Hovering the cursor over such icons will present a tooltip.

	Skip	Link	Links to the beginning of the page contents, bypassing the repetitive navigation menu (primarily for use in screen readers and text-only browsers).
	Home	Icon	Indicates a link to the Scientology Racism home page.
	Editors	Icon	Indicates a link to the editors' page, where you can find contact information.
	SiteMap	Icon	Indicates a link to the site map, from which you can access any page on the site.
	Outlink	Icon	Indicates a link to a page outside the Scientology Racism site, including other directories on SolitaryTrees. You will need to use your browser's Back button if you want to return to Scientology Racism.
	Glossary	Link	Links to the definition of a term in the glossary. Hover your cursor over the term for a short definition displayed in a tooltip; click the button to go to the full definition in the glossary.

Navigation

The main navigation menu contains links to the site's sections and primary pages.

The paging navigation menu contains links to the next page in the sequence (if applicable) and to the previous page(s).

General site links on every page include Home, Editors, SiteMap, Legal Disclaimer, and SolitaryTrees.

Abbreviations and Definitions

The first occurrence of an abbrev or defined term is highlighted with a dotted red underline. If you hover the cursor over the abbreviation or defined term, a tooltip containing the abbreviation's expansion or the term's short definition will appear. Defined terms are also followed by a small icon that links to the glossary for a full definition.

See the Abbreviations and Glossary pages in the Appendix section for a complete list of abbreviations and terms used on this site.

Additional Information

Note: Interjected comments appear within the text, prefaced with the word "Note:".

We sometimes place an icon in front of a heading to indicate the nature of the page or section. In most browsers, hovering your cursor over the image will result in a tooltip that tells you what the image means.
