What’s on the web site
Everything on the site is accessible through the top menu (“Home” “About” “Blog”). But the top menu has a logic all its own. With your cursor (which will take the shape of a pointing hand), you can either click on any of those words, and be taken to a general page, or simply hover over any of them for links to more specific topics to appear; some of those additional links will in turn be hoverable and lead to yet more specific links.
