Welcome

I am pleased to welcome you to my personal blog, which I started in March 2009. I first became interested in blogging about five years ago, using old "blogger.com", which was cumbersome to use and I never mastered. About a year ago I discovered that Google had bought "blogger.com" and had revised it considerably, making it fun to use, so much so that I have devised at least 15 blogs on various subjects and frequently add posts and Gadgets to them.

The United States Constitution

George Washington


"Today's special event:
Idaho became a state on July 3, 1890. Commemorate the day by reading your Constitution."

"The Constitution is presented in several ways on this site. This page presents the Constitution on one large HTML-enhanced page. Other pages present the Constitution as a series of individual pages, in plain text, in standard Palm DOC format, and in enhanced TealDoc format. A quick reference is also available, as are photos of the Constitution. The Constitution of China is available for comparison."

"You are this page's visitor [13+ million]. The Constitution is presented in several ways on this site. This page presents the Constitution on one large HTML-enhanced page. Other pages present the Constitution as a series of individual pages, in plain text, in standard Palm DOC format, and in enhanced TealDoc format. A quick reference is also available, as are photos of the Constitution. The Constitution of China is available for comparison."

"In these pages, superseded text is presented like this: (This is superseded text.) Added text that is not a part of the Constitution is presented like this: (This is added text.)"

This is pretty much what the Constitution-on-line starts off with. At any rate I chose "series of individual pages" and was delighted. I could choose whatever part of the Constitution I wanted to read, to have any of it explained, to see a glossary of the terms used, and many other subjects. I strongly recommend that anyone click the link above (the word "Constitution" in pink) and bookmark it for quick reference.
