OK, you're helping me to think about this. Maybe the links can be labeled
"Family clues" or "Family maps", something like that... and maybe they can be
integrated with the regular maps, but have easier linking mechanisms somehow...
Texas pooh, Barney the Florida Gator, etc.???
I still have to figure out how to make them easier to operate though (the
mechanics of it). You big kids out there can help me think about that. When
you were a kid how did your mind work??? Actually, now that I think of it, kids
probably navigate on the web better than most of us!!

I don't know what specific links you'll be wanting here. have yet to see the
pooh map people keep talking about.... but I do know that Blue's Clues
(terrific kids' show) has computer games, and the whole idea is you click on
something familiar like a big fat icon... green arrow to go to the next thing,
red stop sign to exit, that type of thing.... the little ones handle it fine,
as long as they know how to work a mouse, which they pick up quickly!
