Hello fellow human!
Of course I realise as I write this that it’s presumptuous to assume you are a human. Perhaps you’re an artificial intelligence. Or, more likely, a web crawler. Whatever you are, welcome.
As you may have figured, my name is James. I like to read and travel and read about places involving travel. Occasionally I post photos which may be accompanied by some text, grouped into what I call a travelogue. Most likely none of this, and by this I mean this website, none will be of interest to you, but it's not like you lost anything by looking, except a little time though given how short a time we are each resident on this earth, I gotta admit that's not nothing. So maybe you should just avoid the risk and shove off.
Still here, huh.
Robot or not, I hope you have a nice day. Not that expressing such a cliché will have any material impact on whether you will have a so-called "nice day". But you know what I mean.
- JamesHome shows the newest post or a list of travelogues. Inside a travelogue you can navigate forward in time (to right) or backward in time (to left).
Posts shows a chronological list of posts plus links to random post or photo.
Photos shows a grid of up to 9 photos. The photos are in chronological order with oldest in upper left. From here you can navigate forward in time (to right) or backward in time (to left), in 9-photo chunks.
Find has two paths because posts are categorized by keywords and photos are identified by location.
- Find post by keyword. The list of keywords is organized by category, usually country.
- Find by keyword & location. Pick from combined list of post keywords and photo locations.
About shows this page.
Random post shows a post.
Random photo shows a photo based on current photo filter.
Posts are arranged in chronological order. You can filter posts by keyword and you can move forward and backward.
Click on a post's title to see the post's URL and shortcuts to first/last in set (if post is part of a set).
Click on a keyword (a word, usually a location, after the post's date) to search for posts that share that tag.
Click on L, M, or S to see Large, Medium, or Small photos. This is not always an option.
Click on a photo's title (under the photo) for more information on the photo.
Some photos have map information visible on OpenStreetMap or Google map.
Photos are arranged in chronological order and chunked into 3x3 or 9 photos per screen. You can filter in various ways and move forward and backward. Click on a photo to see it window sized.
In the upper left is a left-arrow (<) link that, if present, navigates to an older 3x3 page. The upper right has a similar arrow to see a page of newer (taken more recently) photos.
Random selects a random 3x3 page of photos.
Find allows you to filter photos by location. This page shows two lists, one ordered alphabetically and a second ordered by number of photos.
At the bottom of the page:
The letters A P C E L A T N F S M correspond to filters for favorite photos based on category: A is for All photos. Others are People, City, Event, Landscape, Art, Transportation, Nature, Food, Structure, and Memorable, the latter being sort of a best of the best.
All dates shows all photos whereas you can limit to photos uploaded (not captured) in the past 31 days, 7 days, or 1 day.
Capture order orders photos by capture date whereas Added order orders by date added.
Looking for comments? There are no comments. You see, while I sort of care what you think, I don't want a comments section. So if you want to comment you must send an email. And don't worry, your real name and email address won't be revealed because, like I said, there are no comments.
