Welcome!
Each week we search the internet for the latest news stories on
Alzheimer's disease and other dementia causing conditions, so that we can share this knowledge with other people
dealing with these diseases. We do this for free, simply because we know how it feels to search the web
for hours, looking for some hope, understanding or helpful information.
Navigating this website:
If you're reading this you have come to our home page, but this
website is made up of many pages, full of information on Alzheimer's disease and other dementia causing
conditions.
First up, on the left hand side of the web page, you will see our channel
chooser panel. If you are here looking for the latest news on Alzheimer's disease and dementias, just click on
your favourite news provider button to view all of the latest news from that entity.
As we know that sometimes too much information is not necessarily
a good thing, each week we also do a 'Top Stories' summary on our dNews page. That
page also has a comments facility so you can discuss the news with other visitors to the website. You can also chat
live about the website or dementia in general with our wibiya bar chat function found at the bottom right of your
screen, just click on the 'Join Chat' button and follow the prompts.
Then, at the top of the website, we have our menu bar and
some colourful link buttons, which can also be found at the bottom of the page too if you scroll
down. 
If the menu item or button topic
interests you, click on it to learn more. The little 'd' is for dementia, so dBooks, dVideo, dCommunity etc, means
the linked page is about dementia books, dementia videos and the dementia community and so on.
At the bottom right of your screen,
you can also log into our  chat
function if you have a facebook, myspace, twitter or yahoo account. Or you can check out more dVideos
posted from our YouTube channel.
At the bottom left of the screen is a donate button for those that like the site and
want to help keep it going, and you can also show that you like the site by clicking on the 'Like' button, you
can view who is online at the moment and see where in the world our visitors come from, and last but not least
you can see what pages are popular on the website.
Finally, on the right hand side of
the screen, we have ads from sponsors of dDN. Their sponsorship keeps the website alive.
Get it? Got it? Good! That's dDN in
a nutshell, our hope is that our work here makes
life a little easier for the millions of people across the world who are currently touched by dementia.
We also understand how valuable research time is for medical
students, and hope our Alzheimer's disease and Dementia news is valuable to pre-med, nursing, health care administration degree
students and more.
Enjoy surfing the site, and come back often!
