	Each component that we discuss will make the site as a whole more approachable.

Vocabulary

	It helps to be familiar with some terms:
		URLs (Uniform Resource Lookups)
			Similar to UNIX filesystem

			Accessible
				URLs (for the most part) are in human readable form
				http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/afni/doc/faq
		Site Layout
			The ÒphysicalÓ and logical structure of the site.

More Vocabulary

	It helps to be familiar with even more terms:
		Site Logo
			Click here to go home!
		Site Tabs
			ÒBigÓ Categories.
		Site Navigation
			This is your best friend. There is no Òsite mapÓ (yet) but the entire structure of the site is accessible from here.
		Site Quick Links
