esl-lounge CD Version. Copyright 2001-2009, Neil Coghlan


Instructions
------------

1. The cd.zip file that Senior Members of esl-lounge Premium can download is about 9mb in size. Each member is given only ONE download of this file.

2. You should right click the CD Download link you find on the "Your Account" page and allow the download to complete before stopping the download. Then you should use a reputable unzip application to unzip the file.

2. After you have unzipped the zip file, you will see two files.

 i) a folder called "esl-lounge cd"
ii) this readme text document

The "esl-lounge cd" contains all the pages and files of the whole esl-lounge.com site: the free site, NOT the esl-lounge Premium site. There are over 2000 pages and not a single advert to be seen. Just nice, clean pages.

3. The whole idea of having this on your desktop/notebook computer is that you can now navigate around the esl-lounge site as if you were connected to the internet. YOU DO NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS SITE CD.

4. Simply place the folder "esl-lounge cd" on whichever part of the computer you desire. I would recommend the Desktop for ease of access.

5. Then open the "esl-lounge CD" folder and find the page called "index.html". Double click on this and it will open like a normal web page. YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. You are viewing this directly off your hard drive.

You can now click on any links on this page, such as the left side menu and you will be able to surf around the free site as if you were on the internet. You can even install the CD onto a computer which doesn't have an internet connection. It's not necessary.

(you don't even have to open the "index.html" page. You can actually open any of the normal html pages and start from there.)

6. You can even make a bookmark to this page as you would any other internet site you wanted to put in your "Favorites". The URL of your bookmark will look something like this:

file:///c:/Documents%20and%20Settings/YOUR-NAME/Desktop/esl-lounge%20cd/index.html

so you can have a bookmarked favorite even though you are using pages off your hard drive and NOT on the internet.

7. If you have downloaded the site in zip format, I would suggest saving the file onto a CD for future safekeeping. We cannot guarantee this service in the future and may not be available to provide further copies of the original zip file. Use a CD burner to copy the file onto a CD.
