For your convenience, the Online Journal also provides two versions of an easy-to-read Site Map, listing the Online Journal's contents in your choice of either alphabetical order or by section.

Subscribers familiar with The Wall Street Journal newspaper will see some differences in organization online. This is because Internet technology presents more flexibility for organizing content on the Web than in newsprint. For instance, the Online Journal's Home page and the print newspaper's front page both contain the signature What's News column. However the Marketplace section, which is the second section of the print edition, isn't used as an organizational section online. Articles that appear in Marketplace are grouped online by subject, such as Technology or News by Industry. Similarly, some articles you'd find in the print's Money & Investing section would be found in either the Markets or Personal Journal sections of the Online Journal, depending upon the topic.

The Personal Journal section offers a close examination of issues that affect you and your family. You'll find all the articles from the print Personal Journal as well as daily online exclusives.

Use the Personal Journal Tools and Resources to calculate and plan your expenses. From buying a car to retirement planning, the Online Journal puts the tools and news you need directly at your fingertips!

Relax in the pages of Weekend & Leisure where you'll find feature stories on everything from sports to the theater. On Friday's you'll find the full contents of the Weekend Journal, including the ever-challenging Crossword Puzzle.

Contents of the innovative and refreshing Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition also are available online.
