Research

The following sites, blogs, and books were used for my research on each blog. If you wish to know more about any specific topic, this might be a good place to start. Sites used for pictures only are not included on this page.

You can sort the table by any column simply by clicking on the column header (once to sort forward, once to sort backward, once more to return to turn sort off). Download options are across the top, as well as drop down summary lists, and a search function for all information in the table, with search results highlighted. Resource is the specific page used; Author/Owner is the home site URL.
