A trail of signposts

My website has a signpost on the home page. It says "This Way" and if you look closely it says, "If you're curious…".

If you follow that link it takes you to a dedicated page — likely the one this page is hosted on by now, That page tells you that you're free to explore the site in your own way, of course.

(You knew that, surely!?)

But that if you'd like to, you can hop onto the trail of signposts and see where it leads you.

(It doesn't say hop. You can limp if you prefer. Or salsa.)

The reason for the whole trail thing is because by the time I added a few different layers to make it feel like home to me, I recognise it may have left the reader a bit befuddled.

After all, there's the part with the book projects and the mentions of plays and things.

There's the eclectic blog posts, where you're never quite sure if you're going to be faced with retellings of Bible stories or musings on the political landscape through the guise of a fable. Possibly encountering an interview with a fictional character, or a serious analysis of language.

The trail hops through just one blog post.

A flavour.

One poem.

And onward through a page about the strands of my thinking, which itself is evolving as I work to pin it down and map out where it goes.

But perhaps the biggest issue any visitor to my site might face is what happens when you get to the Stage Door menu item.

What in the world…?

There, you see.

Hence a few signposts. The trail arrives into that little sub-project other world dimension through a window in the coffee shop.

You can jump off there, safely perusing different rooms that could take you on adventures, or into deeper thinking, or give you audio and visual experiences you'd never imagined when you woke up this morning and had your tea and toast.

Quietly, I like to think that the presence of these little wooden images with their tufts of grass, and the odd daisy or ladybird help to nudge any casual reader toward an imaginative set of interconnecting journeys, so that they won't leave with any misconceptions that my website was too technical or heavy. Even ultimately they leave with more questions than they arrived with.

To explain that, please see my upcoming post on The impossible necessity of optimising gold dust. Or some such title…
