Keep at something long enough and it grows. That means it gets harder to find things. A couple of links within a post may glean a way forward to more information. The drop down menu can also lead on, but is a bit cumbersome, especially for the normal person spending 0.87 seconds on the site. I could leave it all up to SEO and search engines. Slow, but sure, the search engines actually do hit on a few of the posts. But I thought a simple page – sitemap – could do the job for the person actually interested in what is available. A simple matter of updating, on my part, as we go meandering along.
