- Description: Enabling experiences, exploration and change, rather than publication or narrative.

I'm [:gardening](#gardening).

Expect my stuff on this site to grow and change and be re-arranged. Expect words and toys and videos and transcripts and lists and tools. I hope that you'll find this collection to be an interesting place to explore.

Don't expect the text to stay static. These are not magazine articles, this collection is not a blog or a diary or a textbook. 

In my more ambitious imaginings, this site is an *experience*. I hope that it is, [:like some gardens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kew%5FGardens), a pleasant place to explore.

Cheers –

James

*...more details...*

I'm building a few facilities for readers; some to make these pages more-explorable, some to make them more usable:

- **Backlinks** – you'll find a button at the bottom of each page showing what pages link *in* to the page you're on.
- **Search** – the search tool will let you tun a fuzzy search of most of the text of the site. Use your browser to search the page.
- **Dynamic footnotes** – I'm using [nutshell](https://ncase.me/nutshell/) from [Nicky Case](https://ncase.me/nutshell/) to give you anchors which expand to give you more text, but which might be a distraction to the flow of the words. Links with a : in front mean you get to glance at related content, rather than re-routing your exploration to see it.
- **Canonical links** – will help me to make pages and variants without breaking links, though you may find that the text may have changed.
- **Change indicators** – you can see when the page last changed, and I'll indicate state and edits [:somewhere](#Visible%5FChanges)
- **Comments and contributions** – I hope that my readers want to share their thoughts. Comments are *on* for subscribers, and I can give you editing access for deeper and more collaborative stuff.
- **Expanding sections** – I'll put some topics in sections that fold up (or unfold, depending on mood) so that you can get them out of the way (or bring them up) as you need.
- Change control – I'll put big revisions on GitHub.
- Table of contents – planned for big pages
- Lots of ways in – this isn't a book, to be read from start to end. It's a web.
- Tags – each page will have several tags, each tag will take you to a list of other pages with the same tag, and the tags will arise as we go.
- Print to pdf – when I sort the CSS, you'll find that the current state of the page will print nicely to pdf.
