Hover Mouse Pointer Here

The usual problem I have with web page content is still with me. What to put where and why is the most important part of page dreation if you ask me. One think I've come across lately is the hover issue. Not a hover delay issue or anything, though that could be because I haven't gotten that far.

If I put parts of the page with a hover or some other change, what is the best way to het users to give it a whirl. I thought about putting some hover code in a navbar, but the layout of the nav bar needs to relay to users that what they are looking for might be available that way. I don't want to put too much extraneous data on the page.

I'll cross the "What if JavaScript isn't enabled" bridge when I come to it.
