About the design:
This design attempts to combine a conventional blog, which is constantly changing and ephemeral, with some of the features of a web site, which is more permanent and enduring. To this end, the front page works like a blog, with new content list as as it appears, and so presented to the viewer in reverse chronological order.
More substantive, permanent content is house on the back pages, some of which may be seen in the tags at the top of the page. These, however, are only the major categories. The full structure provides for a nested hierarchy of pages, not all of which will be immediately visible to you, the reader. To help you to find more easily some of the more obscure pages, I provide below a full list of paages, with links.
This site is still very much u nder constatn development. As noted in my 6 month review, there remain many imprtant gaps, and some of the “pages” listed are as yet not much more than placeholder shells, indicating content to come rather than curretnly present. Still, I hope this will be helpful. If the promised content is not yet there, perhaps these indications thereof will act as an appetiser to you, and an incentive to me, until the placeholders are filled.
