How to Use This (or any, really) Blog

When you are reading this blog, you may see a brief explanation of something and then see the phrase "here is a site that describes that" or words to that effect, right click the link and choose to open it in a new tab. This will allow you keep reading and refer to the detail later. The author will have abstracted or excerpted the content of the site enough to support what he's saying.


If you see a link labeled to the effect of "if you haven't, go here" you should just go there, because there is no use reading more until you have seen that thing.


Italics, bold, underlines or other typographical modes usually used to indicate emphasis will be used. Sometimes, an asterisk on either side of the word will be used, like *this*. Hopefully, this will occur rarely.


Inline graphics will be used, but the author feels that this will likely not occur enough to make this a visually appealing blog. Find a tumblr or flickr or Instagram site if you want that.


You are encouraged to search for things you want more information about. Highlight with right click then "copy", then paste into a search engine you like.
