Yo, Ben, it take a while for an old fellow like me to get the lay of the land, and that is the case with your "storyline" banner. It's a tremendous achievement that wasn't apparent to me at first. I thought there was just this linear line of comments and replies like I'm writing in now, like there is in many blogs. Anyhow, my point is that I think the "storyline" concept and the specifics ways of navigating this feature of the Press deserves its own story on the front page. Some of us readers need to be briefed on it to begin to take full advantage of this feature. In fact, you may want to have a link on your front page that is essentially a "user's guide", so that readers can learn about the different features of the Press, and then they more likely will use them. At least this would be helpful for other tech novices like myself.

Thanks, Geoff. This article helps me with the concept of "tag clouds", and indeed, when I play more with them, their meaning and function becomes more obvious to me. I think the aspect of "tag clouds" is one of the most valuable aspects of the Press and something that distinguishes it from other news sources. Very creative!

Oh, I forgot to mention re the search engine. Pogue's column previous to the current one talks about search engines. His main point is that it is wasteful of time to use a site's search engine to find what you want. He claims it is much quicker just to use Googles engine. For example, type in a book title and "Amazon" and Google will take you to that book in Amazon. . . . Anyhow you may want to read Pogue's article on search engines since this is an area you're in the process of developing

10-4. Thank you.

Is there a glitch with your search button, or am I just technically challenged? When I type in the name "Ben Ilfeld" in the search box I get only one reference, "Contact Info". Why don't I also pull up the storyline "What is wrong with the S.P." and any thing else you have authored?
