Guide to the blog

As the posts grow - over 950 articles, classified using around 200 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 subjects 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.
