This page is still being set-up and categorized, while the rest of the site is as well; so please take it as a work “under construction.”

Most of these links are mainly for the purpose of refreshing my own memory of helpful sites found while perusing the web, but certainly if they can be of help to others…all the better.

Finally, I’d like to add that while I take great pride in an innate ability to craft decidedly purposeful prose, I make no such efforts at heavy lifting here. This page is meant to be a list of helpful sites; no more, no less.

That being said, I’d love to hear what site visitors have to contribute in terms of suggestions for links and categories.
