Welcome to ZCom's web site, including ZNet, ZMag, ZVideo, ZSpace, ZBlogs, ZForums, ZStore, and much more. Clicking Welcome in the menu to the left, instead of only rolling over Welcome as you did this time, to generate this content, will take you to ZNet's top page which is the main repository of latest and featured content, news, and updates.

By rolling over other links in the left hand menu one can alter the focused material in this two column display overlay area of the top page, as this overlay itself demonstrates. you can always close an overlay, by the way, by using the red x in the upper right corner of the overlay.

The rollover capability of the left menu can be conveniently toggled on or off. Its default is on, and when the rollover effect is on, rolling over items in the menu, such as places or toipcs or types of content, generally provides a summary display of new material from throughout ZCom, brought here, to the viewing area.

The rollover menu refines the display, that is, from the default which is a range of most recent entries, to instead highlight only new material from some place, topic, or style of content, giving you more in depth links bearing on more concerns.

The tabbed menu, which always appears above, always offers easy entry routes to all major components of the site. If you roll the sursor over a tab you see options below. If you click an option, you go to that portion of the site.

New Users

Welcome to Z Communications.

This is a very large and diverse site. We recommend that you just play around a bit, looking at some links off the top splash page, and off ZNet and ZSpace. Try some place and topic pages, for example, and then the writers page, the blogs, ZSpace, and then perhaps also the forums, the audio section, and so on, to get a feel for what is available. Just prowl around, at first, and it will enhance your experience of the site later. Then try the search facility, a very powerful tool for providing specific content.

To navigate, note that you can toggle the submenu to the tabs at the top of each page on and off with the red/green arrow in the row of tabs. We think having the submenus on, displaying automatically when you roll over the tabs, is vastly better for quick and easy navigation, but some people will prefer more viewing area. Try using the tabs, first, though, please.

You can also toggle the left menu rollon/rolloff feature on many pages. Again we think having this feature on is vastly better for rapid navigation, once you get used to it, but you do have to get used to how it works and to handling your mouse a bit more carefully than usual for it to be advantageous. For a much more in depth introduction to all the parts of Z communications, please just click the New Uers link to the left.

Search

A site as large as ZCom must have excellent search capabilities or else its vast stores of information will be only poorly utilized. Our facility permits searching the site overall, or within parts of the site, such as searching by area, topic, place, type of content, or any included text, in any combinations.

Our Search Facility also makes more complex searching easy - such as if I want to see content by only a certain writer, on only a certain topic or place, or perhaps only interviews, or blogs, or both, or video, and so on...

There is also searching by keyword, of course.

Welcome to Z Communications.

ZCom is a large and diverse site. If this is your first visit, we recommend that you play around a bit, looking at some links off the top splash page, and off ZNet and ZSpace. We also have some Help Videos that walk you through features.

Try some place and topic pages, for example, and then try the writers page, the blogs, ZSpace, and then perhaps also the forums, the audio and video sections, and so on, to get a feel for what is available.

Just jump around, at first, and it will enhance your experience of the site later.

Then try the search facility, a very powerful tool for finding specific content.

Note that you can toggle the submenu to the tabs at the top of each page on and off with the red/green arrow in the row of tabs.

We think having the submenus on, displaying automatically when you roll over the tabs, is vastly better for quick and easy navigation, but some people will prefer more viewing area. Try using the tabs, first, though, please.

You can also toggle for a design that is more suited to small monitors, with less menu space taken at the top.

For a more in depth introduction to all the parts of Z Communications, please use the various links to the left and/or the Help Videos.
