Re “pages” vs. “posts“: In this WordPress.com blog/website format, pages are quite different from posts. Posts are the somewhat sporadic articles I’ve been adding to this site over the last couple of years (listed above). Posts are displayed on my home page in chronological order, and usually not in full. If you browse through them on my home page, click on any title to see the whole post. Many of my posts are tutorials, but others are updates on what I’ve been working on, or pictures of readers’ work, or anything related to loop braiding. My posts pile up in date-order on my home page, with my most recent post on the top of the pile—the reverse order of the list above. Date order may not be the most logical order! I posted my more advanced 9 and 11-loop square braid tutorials long before my “Start here” 5-loop tutorial, simply because I already had all the photos for them, from a much earlier how-to I had written for LMBRIC. (See my Tutorials page to find an index where the tutorials listed in a logical order!)

“Pages” are separate from “posts”. They are accessed through the tabs at the top of my blog. After my home page, the other pages are general reference material. They contain basic information about loop braiding, or about me, or about this site and how to navigate it. Two pages are site indexes:  this page (with links to all my posts), and the Tutorials index, which describes and has links to only the tutorials.

Since starting this blog, I’ve been gradually adding posts on various loop braiding topics (including tutorials) in no particular order, so I hope the index pages will make them easier to find. My right sidebar also has a monthly archive drop-down and a “categories” drop-down for navigating my posts, plus you can search the whole blog (posts and pages) using the search box at the upper right.

Follow me! Click on “follow Loop Braiding” in the right sidebar for an automated email alert when I publish a new post—no other emails. Or add me to your rss feed…

I post sporadically, from 0 to a few times a month. I treat my past posts more like works-in-progress than like journal entries, editing frequently, and occasionally adding content. So my old posts sometimes change, unlike most of the blogs I follow…
