New Readers

Welcome and thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

I hope you can just dive in and find something worthwhile. If you’d like some guidance, here it is:

• Like most blogs, the most recent entry or post is at the top of the first page. As you read down any page, you are reading back towards the earlier entries written over 14 days.

  Sometimes this seems weird, especially when a recent entry refers to something older that you haven’t read yet.

  If you are returning, as you read down you will eventually run into something you’ve already read. No blog seems to have an effective way to “show me only things I haven’t seen”.

• My remarks usually appear like this text. Text from other sources usually appears in black on white.
• Entries are also categorized and can be read on category pages (see links to the side of the main column).
• You can search for entries. See the little search box at the top of each page.
• You can bookmark or send a link to a specific entry by browsing it first (click the heading over that entry). That takes you to a particular page for just that entry. Then bookmark that page or send that address to a friend (thanks). Blog-nerds call this the permalink for that post.
• I’m interested in any thoughtful response. You can use the comments link for an entry or write me directly anytime.

Sometimes, I just want to preserve something I’ve read and encourage you to read it, too. Other times, I feel I have something to add, often brief, sometimes sarcastic or angry. Once in a while, I feel more creative or verbose. mjh
