Getting Around the Blog

Since you started reading this blog, I bet you wonder from time to time how to locate the posts you liked the most or think you missed a blog on a topic of interest.

You may wonder how to read everything on a topic or to dive deep in one of the blog series.

After eight years, I use the search function in the upper right corner of the home page to find previous topics.

Get this view by clicking on Label box between
blue bar and photos. (dwm)

It was a few years after starting this blog before I began attaching labels.  If you want to read everything under Observations it is a lengthy list since it serves as a catchall for posts where I tell a story or write about something I noticed.  Observations do not focus on the actual topic.

Biking is a pretty solid way to find all the posts through the years about rides or riding.  Sometimes, I made labels too specific, such as Badger State Trail which is only stuck on a few posts.  

Click on tab (circled in white) to see special
collections. (dwm)

 If you want to scroll through the labels for the most recent posts under each one, select the Label box between the photos and blue bar.  

 For special collections like Radio Roseville or Lighthouses, select the tab you want.

 The first posts went live in July 2012; you can search by date by clicking on the file cabinet icon on the right side of the screen.

The icon above that looks like a page with a star takes you to the three most popular posts in the last year.

Search posts by month and year, there is at least
one post a day from 1/1/2013 to 3/31/15. 

While you walk around the site, you're invited to Subscribe by clicking on the 3 arc icon.  Subscribers receive an email when a new post is published.

Finally, your comments are always welcome.  More readers have shared their thoughts or observations in this year than the prior six.

Thanks for reading - it's fun writing when you are in the audience.  Before 2020 is over I plan to write about you and the others who take time to read "They used to call me Pointdexter."

See you Thursday.
