2.1.	Length: Your results are limited to 25 Bookmarks per page.
2.2.	Turning Pages: Use the button to flip ONE page ahead, the button to flip FOUR pages ahead and to flip to the last page. The same goes for the reverse buttons. An icon will disappear if you cannot use it (for example, if you are on the last page, only the reverse buttons will appear).
2.3.	Sorting: At the top of each page there is a bar with "Name," "URL" and "Vote." By clicking on these buttons, you can sort your results by the corresponding category. The new sort will be displayed in a lighter gray area and will apply to all pages. Your results will be sorted by vote unless you select another preference.
2.4.	Voting: You may vote for as many sites as you wish, but you may only vote for a site once. You can vote positively if you like the site, or negatively if you don't. Please be fair and vote without prejudice, even for sites outside of your musical preferences. Some suggestions to base your vote on: Content (is it up-to-date, manifold and complete?) Graphics (are they engaging, but not too big?) Usefulness (does it provide information, sounds, searches, or let you order products, etc...?) Important: base your evaluation on ONLINE factors. For example: don't give a positive rating to a weak site just because it's run by a phat label. And please give private and commercial entrants the same chance!

5.	Q & A: Question: Why doesn't the pulldown menu work when I pick the first choice on the list (ex: "Artist" under Category or "Argentina" under Country). Answer: This happens because of a JavaScript error in a few browsers. If nothing happens when you pick the first choice under a category, click the button next to the pulldown menu. Question: My browser doesn't have JavaScript. What should I be aware of when using the Bookmarks? Answer: You shouldn't have any problems. The only function you can't use is the info-window. Also, with the pulldown menues, you will have to click on after making your choice to start the query.
