Information on this site is packaged in “posts”, each dealing with a specific subject and “tagged” or labelled with one or more “categories”, which link the post to one or more “landing pages”. Posts are discoverable either by navigating through the categories, or by using the search function. The categories are structured approximately according to taxonomic classification, but the availability of the search function means that taxonomic precision is not necessary.
