What's on the Menu?

When you go to a new restaurant, the first thing you want to know is where the restrooms are. The second is "What's on the Menu?"

< < Does your menu look like the one on the left with the dishes and prices clearly stated?

Or is it like the one on the right?

Seriously, how many times have you gone through all the archived posts?

Books answer the question, "What's on the Menu?" with a Table of Contents. Many magazines have a Table of Contents. Many blogs have .... Archives.... > >

When I think of Archives, I think of dusty old documents nobody reads.

Make the table of contents easy to find


100's of articles
Eventually, I will write 100's of articles for this blog. My new readers won't care about archives. They will care about what's important to them. Who decides? They do! Make it easy for them.

Three posts per section is enough. Too many choices confuse readers.
