We've tried to keep things clear, simple to use and as obvious as possible. So for starters the authored pages are numbered. Also anything that is underlined if "clicked on", will take you somewhere you expect to go! (This doesn't apply to emphasised words within this article).

This starts on our Home Page where, if you have visited us before, you can choose to go straight to the Index Page or  What's New . Do take a look at this because there might just be notes of changes since your last visit!  At present we also use this page to post notices general interest.

For the curious our Home Page also tells you who we are and a warm Welcome  is to be found there, too.

<>Let's look at the Index Page.  Here you'll find the categories of reading matter listed.  Within each list there's an alphabetical list of authors and their work. The title of each piece is underlined. Click the work of your choice - "Voila!". You're there.

You'll want to read through the text just like a book, we hope. Therefore, at the end of each numbered page there's a Next for you to click on to access the next page.

If at the end of any page, however, you decide to go to the index, there is an Index Page link to be found.

It's always vital to be able to flick back a few pages, isn't it? So at the top of each page there's a Back link to enable you to do just that. Hopefully, too, these links are in exactly the same position so you don't have to move your mouse. The pages are numbered at the top left.

Our Next and Back links - unlike those on your toolbar - go forwards or backwards sequentially one page at a time. If you want to jump to a specific page you can change the Page_nn.html part of the address in the location window at the top of your screen and then hit RETURN.
