I realized this morning that I need an index where I can quickly locate the various notes that I make for the different topics that I am interested in.
Tuesday July 11, 2006 2:15 PM Lethbridge Alberta
I have begun creating separate web pages for the notes for each topic. This will begin with the July entries. The links to all of the entries for a month, beginning with July, are found at the top of each topic.
