I don't know how pages like this came to be known as "maps"- it probably makes more sense to call this one a "site directory". Well no matter what it is called, its purpose remains the same - to provide an overview of the site's content. Creating this page has been very useful to me. It's given me an overview of how much work I've put into this project to date. It also makes it clearer to me how much more I have to do! For both of us, I've included the stuff I haven't finished yet. I hope it will make you want to bookmark the site and check on my progress regularly. Including all the unfinished stuff helps me focus on finishing all that I've already started before coming up with even more stuff. If you'd be so kind, I'd really appreciate your feedback on my efforts. You can reach me by .
