Yet, in order to quickly locate additional and specific entries, the area near the page footers becomes important too. This can be found at the very bottom of each page.
First, in the lightly-shaded area, you'll often see the words:
Newer Posts ---- Home ---- Older Posts
These are self-explanatory as they allow access to a more recent entry, the current week of entries, or one with an older date. A reader may start at a particular entry and go forward or backwards a single step at a time.
Moreover, in the darker grayish area, the number of monthly visitors is displayed. Under it, Google Translate will show the entire journal in an on-the-fly language translation.
In the right column, a user may easily select any 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 the page. Monthly archives will always contain several pages of data.
Lastly, the search function is where the magic can begin. A visitor can simply see if I've ever mentioned a particular word, phrase, or topic. 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 10 different entries between 2007 and 2023.
