Added to this are two search facilities. One allows you to search all of the information stored within ZDNet UK, comprising PC Direct, Computer Life and PC Magazine, plus the reams of information only published online. So if you are looking for information on any computing related subject, but are unsure about which magazine has covered it, then a ZDNet UK search is ideal. The other search facility is one that lets you use Yahoo! to search the Web directly from within the ZDNet pages, meaning that you don’t have to spend online time calling up search engines to find your way around the Web. Also included on the site are a link to ZDNet US, where you can access all our sister magazines, plus links to the software library and, finally, a link to each of the three magazines’ own Web sites.
Once you have arrived at the PC Direct page, you will notice several new features. Our home page has been redesigned so that the growing amount of information can be located even faster. There is a new format which resembles file folders: to find any content, simply check the tabs, which are labelled News & Views, Hardware, Software, Hands On, Online and How to Buy, and click on the file separator tab to be taken straight to relevant content. Users familiar with the PC Direct site will recognise some of these categories, but the new additions come in the How to Buy section. Throughout the next few months, the buying features that provide invaluable buying advice in the direct channel will be featured under this category.
