This is a quite a good website with the aim to inform the beginner the technicalities of the Internet and the world wide web. The site has a section for the novice to learn all about newsgroups, the site is based in the United Kingdom, but all the content seems to be relevant for anyone in the world who logs onto this site. The website explains exactly what newsgroups are and what they can offer to a user who wishes to explore this type of medium further. There is a side menu with links for most commonly used terms, once the user clicks onto a particular term they will be taken to another window where a full explanation is given. The site also offers some basic tutorials on how to post and read newsgroups, types of newsgroups, newsgroup netiquette, and newsgroup spam. At the bottom of the page is a link to the homepage of Usenet which is the central location for newsgroup information. I feel that a beginner would feel comfortable reading this site, as it is well written site, easily understood with little or no jargon. I would highly recommend this site to anyone starting out on the Internet /Newsgroups as I found it very useful with my own studies.
