The buttons with the compass sign (as illustrated to the right) are for navigating this site. I have attempted to provide the richest possible navigation capability in the hope that anyone who is looking for something specific will be able to find it, somehow, and anyone who wants to browse the site will be able to stumble across everything that it contains in one way or another.

Each navigation button has a different letter on it and takes you to a different navigation page. To go direct either click on the associated button in the adjacent column of on the links below:

The C stands for Categories. This takes you to a page where you can view all the postings on this web site, as titles and also in expanded form, showing postings with both the title and the first paragraph of the posting. It also allows you to select all postings within any of the main posting categories; IT Trends, Apple, Briefings, Campaigns, R&R and Images.

The V stands for Vendor. This takes you to a page that shows the titles of postings that mention specific vendors and shows title or in expanded form, both titles and the first paragraph.

The S stands for Subject. This takes you to a page that shows the titles of postings that mention specific IT topics. It shows the titles or in the expanded form it shows both titles and the first paragraph.

The T stands for Tags. This takes you to a page that shows all the tags used on all the postings across this web site. Click on any tag and it will throw up a list of the first 5 postings that have been tagged by that word. A “Next” link will take you to the next 5 and so on.

P stands for Popular. This button takes you to a page that shows popular posts over a given time span (a day, week, month, quarter, year and since the blog began). Click on any story and it will take you to the full web page.

The G stands for Google. Takes you to a page that provides a Google search of this site, allowing you to search for any word or combinations of words in the normal Google fashion.

The Cloud Search uses technology from Quintura. It delivers a semantic search capability that indexes every page on the web site. This can be an effective way to browse though the site.
