I've made every attempt to make this site as easy to use and navigate as possible. It's as much to my benefit as it is to you when you can quickly find what you're looking for (or easily stumble upon what you're interested in).

From any page you can get to the main page by clicking on my name, "Chris Hardie", at the top and bottom of the page, or to the site map and list of what's new from the links at the bottom. You can contact me from any page by clicking on my e-mail address.

If at any time you feel "lost" or unable to get to where you want to go, try starting with the site map; it contains links to every page on my site and is organized by content.

Many pages have photos or images on them. These are almost always linked to a larger version of that image, sometimes accompanies by an explanation. If you like these, check out my photos.

Many pages also have a "User comments" section. This is intended to let you comment to the world on the content or layout of that particular page. I will read every comment that is posted, and value your feedback greatly. You might want to read my comment posting policy, and you can also view all the user comments on this site.

The terms under which you may copy, print, or distribute the content of this site can be found in my copyright notice.

Any use of this site, in any manner whatsoever, will increase the amount of disorder in the universe. Although no liability is implied herein, the user is warned that this process will ultimately lead to the heat death of the universe.
