| The Ouse Washes Website site contents A - Z |
Site contents A - Z
The pop-out navigation menu on the Home Page will find most items or subjects you want quickly, and you can go a page, section or even paragraph with just one click. Its a good way of seeing the contents of each page too.
This page offers an alternative to the pop-out site menu which some users find difficult. Its a long table, so I added a heading which will always be visible no matter how far down you scroll. Unfortunately I've since discovered that the feature doesn't work on my android tablet or phone, although the phone does show another feature using the same technology!
You can also use the site search facility on the home page, but it may not find new pages posted in last 30 days.
A word of caution - the links below open in new windows or new tabs depending on your computer settings, unlike other internal links on the rest of the site which do not.
