The ZOID CITY Community Portal Project
Back to the Main ZOID Page.
The best part of being on the internet is sharing, and that is what this portal is all about. A portal is a large, well organized group of handy links. I hope you make the ZOID Portal your start up page. Though it is nowhere near as extensive as Yahoo, DMoz, or About, the ZOID portal is noncommercial, nonprofit, and yours. You can make this your starting page. If there is a link you would like to see here just send it to me, ZOIDRubashov. This portal needs more links to sites that deal with the humanities, literature, mythology, religion, plants, birds, reptiles, farm animals, and much more..
To copy a link, hit the right button on your mouse and click on copy link location, and then paste the link on to a document, or into the location bar, travel to that site, and bookmark it. You can also put an adopted link into a page that you are coding.
