Lay o' the site:
Since it would be rather hard to diagram, I'll explain how the Everloom site is organised:
There are five main sections, all present in the main menu(which is above, at the top). To get to the main page of each section, click the button where you want to go. You can tell which section you are it by which section name has the funny asterisks around it. While in any section, you can click its own button to get to the main page of it.
Within each section, there are links to the pages within it on the left hand side(like the one on the left of this page). While in the section, that menu of pages should stay there wherever you are, allowing you quick access to the other pages in the section.
Also within each section, there might be a menu to the right of the text. That menu contains the links to other sites, as well as links to relevant pages in other sections of the Everloom website.
Within the body of each page(like what you are reading right now), there may be links to just about everything.
The theories prevalent here are that standardization makes for easy navigation; that there should always be links to directly where one wants to go; and that to many links makes using them hard.
Content description:
So what is the point of knowing the layout of the site if you don't know where you want to go? Here's a description of each section(may be slightly out of date):
Main:
This section is for all things concerning the site. It has some news on the index page, infomation for using this site, and a guestbook for showing me that I'm not doing all this for nothing.
Profile:
This section is for what is related to me. It has a long list of useless, out-of-date infomation on the index page, my e-mail address(best way of contacting me), my rants, and some personal reflections. Note that I'm not a ranty person, nor am I inclined to write down my musings.
Stories:
My favorite section, the 'Stories' section is about what I have written, as well as some other thing on the web I want you to read. The main page contains news on the writing situation at the moment and links to the outside and other stories. The other pages on this section are for my writings; each page contains infomation about the story it's about, infomation on the making of said story, and of course a link to the story. Note that the links take you to my fictionpress account, which is quite different from my site.
Art:
This section contains my art... or lack thereof. I don't draw, save for patterning runes, so most of the stuff will be me messing around other photos with the GIMP.
Links:
The links section has links to all the stuff on the web that I reccomend. This will be a lot in time, but probably won't be finished for so long that I would actually assume it's not done when descibing it. You see, I make my pages on a different computer than the one with a web connection, so hunting down URLs, images and banners for links, and writing about each site is time consuming. And I'm too lazy for that most of the time.
