In order to quickly locate additional or specific entries, the page footers become important too. The area is located at the very bottom of nearly every page. First, in the lightly-shaded area, you many see one or more of the three items. These are rather self-explanatory as they allow access to:
- more recent, newer writings,
- the current and recent two week of writings,
- writings published holding previous, older dates.
A reader may even start at one particular day and go forward or backward a single step at a time. Moreover, in the darker grayish area, the monthly visitor count is always displayed. Under it, Google Translate can quickly show the entire journal in an on-the-fly translation in a selected language.
On the right hand side, a user may pick a specific, archived month of their choosing. For example, September 2022 (30) in the drop-down list will force the journal to jump to the 30 entries found in that month and year. (All archives are organized in reverse chronological order, so September 30th will appear at the top of that page. It's important to note that monthly archives always contain more than a single page of data, so using Older Posts becomes important too.)
Lastly, the search function is where the real magic can begin. A visitor can simply see if I've ever mentioned a particular word, phrase, or topic. Just enter the word or words and press the search button. For example, I typed in the word, stumble and discovered I had used it in eleven eJournal writings between 2007 and 2026.
