Along with this page and a slew of eventual drop-down menu options, I will strive to provide a location for easy access to as much of my content as possible.
These sections will be linking to mainly reviews, analysis and overview posts; status updates or journal posts will be left out of the loop to decrease clutter.
My posts will also be easy to find under the catalogues, but I do see value in separating out the more analytical posts.
