APOLOGIES FROM THE MANAGEMENT

2019

I kept this index going for 6 years. I ran out of steam (and time) with it last summer and never got back to it. The blog has plenty of other ways of locating particular articles – search facility, specific indexes, tags, top ten feature and so on. I doubt anyone bothers to look at this page, if they ever did, so I am going to put it on ice and forget about unless there is a clamour for its return (please don’t rush with that, though…)

RANDOM main page – the new Mr & Mrs Cambridge give

MAY 25 REVIEW – Zoe Durrell. See BOOKS etc / NON-AVIAN
Mostly sorted! The nightmare of computer (operator?) glitch that was the MARINE LIFE drop down
New page RANDOM / YES…BUT IS IT ART? (Rhetorical)

THIS PAGE now also used to post additions and updates to the various main pages on the menu bar / the drop-downs that may not in themselves merit the accolade of a Post (and excluding trivial tweaks and corrections). Most of them have blue click-throughs to the relevant page. That’s the intention, anyway…

THIS PAGE… is now being used as a form of experimental sandpit for playing around with ideas and techniques – e.g. discovering how to embed videos (you can’t just drag ‘n’ drop – too easy)

FUTURE CONTENTS UNDER ACTIVE BUT NOT VERY STRENUOUS CONTEMPLATION PURSUANT TO SOME REJIGGING OF OTHER PAGES

SANDPIT – ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK

Area for testing ideas, embeds etc before adopting or (mostly) discarding them. Also, where I have to place certain images or vids so that they get an http:// name for links. Unlikely to provide much sport for the casual reader. For any reader, for that matter. Go check out some birds or reef fish, is my advice…
