Where to begin? Wherever you like! A Wiki can seem overwhelming to a new visitor. This page suggests some navigational tactics. Please add your recommendations as comments or edit them into place. (You are welcome to edit virtually all the pages in this Wiki — please do!)
Three major modes of exploration are popular: chaotic, semi-structured, and personal.
Chaotic
- Go to Random Thoughts and click on links there to get an unpredictable sample of what's in this journal ...
- Fan outward from a page you like via normal hyperlinks ...
- Investigate links that point into an intriguing page by clicking on the page title's link; from the resulting set, jump through links that look interesting ...
Semi-structured
- http://zhurnaly.com/ offers a reverse-chronological view of major posts
- HomePage provides pointers to the latest additions and modifications under "What's New?" ...
Personal
Everybody has their favorite topics; you can help others who share your interests by recommending pages that they might enjoy. Since I wrote most of this stuff my judgments are likely biased, but an old list of my personal choices for less-unsuccessful essay fragments to glance might be:
