How to use this blog

The nature of blogs is that it is easiest to navigate through blog posts in reverse chronological order. However, here you have some other options:

-To view all the posts in order, start at the "Welcome" post, then click on "newer post" after reading each one.

-To view my favorite highlighted posts, select "Highlights" from the top left sidebar (or from the label choices); scroll down to the bottom and then work your way up if you want to read in chronological order

-Or use the "Label" list as an index to go right to the sections that interest you most.

-Or use the "Search" box to search for other words

With most images on these pages, you can click on the image to see it larger in Picasa or Flickr, or click on the title below to see the whole "album" of photos it comes from. Just use your "back" button in your browser to get back here when you're done.

For most slideshows (made in Picasa), use your mouse to roll over the bottom of the slideshow viewer so that you can stop the slides and move forward or backward through them at your own pace. Also you can view the photos and slideshow in our Picasa Web Album if you click here.

Other slideshows are made in Flickr. To view one, click on the arrow (play button) for it to start playing. You can also click on the icon in the bottom right hand corner for a fullscreen view - and then, to get out of it, press the "esc" key. Within the viewer, use the arrows, pause button, and lightbox at the bottom to navigate through the images.
