WEBSITES & WEBMASTER
A "vertical" navigation bar at the top of most pages tells you how
you drilled down to the present page and how to climb back up.
A "horizontal" one at the bottom lets you move sideways through the site.

I compose these pages on WordStar, a DOS program designed for ten-finger typists (yes, we use our thumbs) and faster than any modern word processor or web-authoring software. The downside is that I don't have software validating the code as I go along. This has caused problems with software other than Internet Explorer or browsers based on it.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you found it useful or entertaining or better

that I rent at Hampton Airport, New Hampshire. What a wonderful plane!)
