Reading the blogs.

So much information! "Is the blog getting blogged down?" A friend asks, "How do I find this or that?"
Several answers:
1, Use the "Labels" in the sidebar. Posts are divided by topic there. Some posts have multiple labels.
2. Use the "Search" feature above. That works pretty well. (Google searches also sometimes pulls up interesting results.)
3. Sometimes it's fun to go into the archives, just click on any month.
4. Go back to the beginning - With this blog - and with most any blog - check out the earliest posts to see what it was all about. This is where the person introduces themselves, and you're apt to get more info there. Blogs take on a life of their own and evolve over time, but it is often very interesting to see why they started in the first place. That's true within the labels also. Usually helps to go to the earliest post in the label lineup - that'll usually show you why the label was initiated.
