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 of the page lets you move sideways through the site, or move to a related site. Click here for a site map.

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 some web browsers.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you found it useful or entertaining or better
yet both -- Dan Ford. (Oh, and the photo is by Alyssa Duncan.)
The same is true of my occasional newsletter (see below). I collect
no data from my readers and wouldn't know what to do with it if I did.
The email addresses reside only on the servers at Simply Hosting, my web
host, and at MailChimp, which enables people to sign up for it. I don't
add people to the list who don't ask to be added, and I send an email
confirming every addition, to be sure it's wanted.

The books
Most of these titles are available as e-books for the Amazon Kindle and other e-readers. So are some of my monographs, magazine articles, and internet essays.
