Second posting on this subject: HOW TO USE THIS BLOG SITE

I WILL HAVE TWO POSTINGS TODAY.  The one below is a repeat of HOW TO USE THIS BLOG SITE because all of a sudden, readership recently jumped up, so most of you reading this blog are new.  For the first few months very few (less than 10/day) bothered to come here.  For example, last month only had 368 total readers.  Today, the number for this one day is already at 605, and will probably double that of last month when the day is done.

****************************

The first posting (with rainbow over Diamond Head at the top)of the original was way back on 29 April 2008, more than 13 years ago.  How long ago was that?  Imagine beginning kindergarten, then growing up so that you are now a freshman in college.  I've been doing this daily that long.  

The reason I had to start a new blog series is that the original exceeded the limit of something called "labels."  That blog continues, but absent potential links to people just searching the web world.

This new version is not as accessible.  Sometimes the right column is there, and sometimes not.  I thus had a special posting on 1 November 2020:

     HOW TO USE THIS BLOG SITE

You can click on that link, but here it is again anyway:

Several people who came from the original Planet Earth and Humanity blog site wandered why I did not include some of the useful items that were provided in the right column in this new version of Planet Earth and Humanity.  Actually, they're there, and sometimes they show up, but if you don't see it, CLICK on those three parallel lines in the right-hand corner at the top.

When you do, you will be better able to search this site, or, if necessary, translate it to your language.  Also, and this is important, you should note that the time is that of Honolulu.  If you are from any U.S. state, except Arizona and Hawaii, make sure if you're from the East Coast that your time should be only five hours ahead instead of six because daylight savings time ended last night.  For the West Coast, the difference should be two hours, not three.

Then there is something about most popular postings, followed by visitors to this site.  If you click on that map, you can see that 221 countries have registered.  So you say, if the United Nations has only 193 members, why is the number so high?  That's because locations like Antarctica are domain sites.  I never corrected this, but the other graphs are not correct.  I quit paying Google $30/year, and the number of visitors dropped by a factor of ten because they stopped counting most of them.

Followed by a blurb on global warming, plus:

• The Price of Oil
• How to Calculate the Current Value of Money
• Consumer Price Index and Inflation Rate
• All-time numbers 
• petroleum
• gold
• 30-year mortgage rate
• Odds Calculator
• How to Calculate Your Body-Mass Index
• About Me

To return to the blog site, click on that arrow at the top right.  Of course there will be no arrow when the right column shows.

Note that when you sometimes get to this site, you will see that older postings are placed below the most recent.  They are not listed chronologically, but are the most popular recent ones.

Later on today I will have a posting entitled ON HEALTH AND WELLBEING.  You can click on it here to read it.
