Navigating the Eastman Gun shows Website

    I recently heard from one knowledgeable visitor to the Eastman Gun shows Website "I cannot find anything on the Eastman Gun shows website – it is not like other websites." Yes, this is somewhat true. 
    Many websites designers tend to lump their website into one location because someone once told them – "this makes them easy to work with because all files are in one location."  While this may be true for very small websites, it is not true for larger websites because it leaves no room for expansion and jumbling everything together complicates even minor routine maintenance chores.
    The Eastman Gunshots Website is designed on a "pyramid" scheme with the "Home Page" at the top of the pyramid. This is very similar to how information is stored on your computer with the website’s "Home Page" in the same position as the "root directory" of your computer’s hard drive.
    Like your computer's hard drive, information in the Online Outdoors Website is stored in "folders" or what was once called "directories" in earlier versions of "DOS."  The names of these folders is based upon their content. "Articles" are  stored in the Articles folder, website "Contact" information is stored in the Contact folder, "Book" information is stored in the Book folder, Services information is stored in the Services folder  and "Help "information is stored in the Help folder.
    If you are looking for a particular word or word pattern -- go to the "Search" page and use its features to search the complete website for pages containing that exact information. The "Table of Contents" page generates a complete hierarchical listing of every page in the website so this page can be used to search for specific information. Both of these pages also provide "hot links" to help you reach pages contained in the website. These pages are located in the "Help" section of all websites.
    I realize many persons  think of writing as spooling in a new piece of paper into the typewriter and banging on the keys. If the typewriter works, fine. If not, you take it to get fixed. However we all live in a whole new generation of tools and mediums and writing today is not always that simple.
    I get frustrated many times with a specific person's lack of computer knowledge but they, too, get frustrated with a technical jargon they do not understand. Hopefully all of this will change, as we each grow accustomed to the other’s world. -- The Webmaster.
