Table of Contents of this Site

There are over 100 pages on this site, and all of them can be reached from this page.

It is my desire to present you with a positive internet experience on my site. You are in my domain, and I appreciate it!

Most people don't have any trouble negotiating this site, but occasionally I get a comment about the layout. Currently, I'm not using frames. Frames are the arrangement that allows you to have a permanent list of links usually on the left side of the page. Supposedly, this allows a faster hop to the page of interest. But it does cost, too; it costs screen width. A side frame forces the rest of the screen to be narrowed, which, in my opinion, makes a narrow, list-like page. People scan these type of layouts rather quickly, and I don't want you to quickly scan, I want you to take your time. Also, because of the amount of pages (over 100), frame use would make a long, scrolling list by itself, constantly begging your attention away from the page. I don't want you to be distracted. Thirdly, why be like everybody else on the net? Take your time, look around, the highlights are at the top of every page, and when you get done with the page, a large group of links is at the bottom. If you ever get lost, come to the Table of Contents page here for every single link. Thanks for taking the time to cruise!
