Hello,
It has come to my attention that I have confused my readers. I have two types of posts on this blog; SERIAL and STAND-ALONE
The first type are serial posts. What I mean by that is the posts are logically tied together and are shown in the “CATAGORY” listing.
However, that does not tell anyone where the beginning is; AND THAT IS CONFUSING. My apologies.
So I have added a pointer to the start of the three serial type posts that I have. This is a picture of that pointer;
It is located at the bottom of the right hand list on each post. So feel free to click on it if you wish to see where any of the three serial type posts start.
If you were to click on it this is what you would see;
(I will add pointers to the beginning of new serial posts as they develop.)
So where does this leave the odds and ends of posts that are stand alone?
Ooops! I think I already spilled the beans at the bottom of that last example. But repition never hurt anything.
Since the odds and ends have nothing to do with each other and you might just wish to browse. I have them listed in the CATAGORY “Odds and Ends” which looks like this;
I am very adept at confusing people with details. I hope I didn’t do it with this post.

PS: I am going to do the something quite similar in “The Short Stories of Waldo.”

But because everything is stand-alone in “Adirondack Images and Tales” I am not going to do anything there;

Thank you for your understanding and patience. WALLY
Its all good, thanks.
Thanks for looking it over. (I’m so confused!)
I’m not sure it means anything, but I understand perfectly, but then I’m easily confused so I can’t speak for anyone else. 🙂
Everything’s ok from my POV 🙂 Maybe you can try numbering your posts even in the title. I know you’ve written a lot so this is going to be a lot of work. I number my Russia posts as Russia I, II, III, IV etc then the title ; and stories are [Short Story]: Title. They are also put under categories with a header menu. I’m not sure if this might work better for your readers, but thanks anyway! 🙂
Thanks for the good suggestion. I have started numbering in the title. The stand-alone pieces I still don’t number because there is no need to. They are archived by month and then WP dates them. Great suggestion! Between all this the new readers should be ok. Thanks again. Wally
My only problem with anything on the Internet is that everything is in reverse chronological order. That can play havoc with serial posts, of course.
Yes – – – and you were the first to call it to my attention. You suggested I catagorize by date. Thank you for that. Too bad I didn’t think it through a little farther. Be good. I have enjoyed your recent posts.
Did you notice that today I read things in the order you posted? It made much more sense. In fact, after visiting your blog, I decided that since I keep pretty accurate records of what I have done on the Internet, it’s not hard to pick up where I left off last time. So that’s what I just started doing, thanks to you!
I did notice. Russel, I have no idea how you can find so much time to organize your photos, keep track of what you looked at on the internet and go to the zoo and the gardens and bird watching and etc., etc. etc..You must be super organized. Wally
Friends who have known me for a long time call me ART; stands for Anal Retentive Tracking. When I changed my name back in 2004, I should have changed it to ART. lol
