Guide to the blog

As the posts grow (over 850 articles, classified using 198 Subjects!), searching becomes more difficult. 

Our Customised Google search is not useful for Subjects with many entries. 

The Subject list is fine for those with only a few entries, but those with many entries are better searched with a general web search using your normal browser.  A search by a topic of interest, eg.  "john meredith" site:blog.bushmusic.org.au will list every article & articles of interest can be opened. 

Chronologies & Compilations are blogs with links to all articles on the subject.
