Help

Breakfast in America has over 3,500 posts and 7,000 photographs (as of March 2025) and covers a time period of over sixty years. That’s a lot! Here are some pointers to help you find your way around.

First, and most importantly, tapping or clicking on a picture usually displays a larger version of the image, often accompanied by additional pictures and my notes on what was happening or what I was doing at the time it was taken.

Pictures in my photo albums have clock and camera icons in the top left, indicating how much text, and how many additional pictures there are.

There are four main types of posts.

1. Photographs — one to nine pictures, typically with just photo captions or a short description.
2. Albums — Collections of ten or more pictures on a given topic.
3. Journal Entries — Ten or more pictures with a more in-depth write-up on what was going on.
4. Longer Posts — generally, these are just me musing on a topic, product, or a specific event.

Looking for Something Specific?

Photo Albums

My pictures are organized into numerous photo albums, each covering a different topic. You can find the most popular ones via the Albums link in the menu at the top of the page. Below are links to the main categories on the Photo Albums page.

People | Vacations | Recreation | Favorites by year | Themes | Places

Timeline

The Timeline is my attempt to list the events of my life in chronological order. It covers both major and minor events that’ve taken place, and if I’ve pictures or written notes, it includes links to the posts about them.

Search

I recommend trying the search function. It works surprisingly well, and I use it all the time. Just click on ‘Search‘ in the main menu at the top of the page. Keep your search parameters concise for optimal results.

Just Browsing?

Some helpful hints on looking around.

• Use the menu (at the top of each page) to find the things you are looking for. The menu organizes the content into Albums by popular (for me) topics, my favorites — overall and for each year — and by year (Timeline).
• At the bottom of each post, you’ll see three ‘related’ posts that some clever software decided have similar content (do not fear, they are links to posts on this site and not clickbait to other sites).
• Check out Topics & Tags. Below the ‘Related Posts,’ there is a list of the ‘Topics’ that the post is filed under and a list of the ‘Tags’ the post is tagged with. Clicking on either will bring up a list of all the posts in the same topic, or tagged with the same tag. Provided I’ve been consistent with putting my posts in the right topic and tagging them this works very well.

Exploring

At the very bottom of each page, you’ll find a list of the most recent posts, and a menu you can use to access the posts in any given month.

Links

This is a recent change, so I’m still in the process of going through and updating the hundreds of existing links, but typically you’ll find four different types of link. You can tell what type of link it is by the icon that follows it. None of the following links go anywhere (admit it, you tried one just to check).

Internal — Link to another post on this site

External — to another website of General interest

External — to Wikipedia (or another ‘trusted’) source

External — to my affiliate account on Amazon

Suggestions

I recommend having a browse through the Albums menu or try picking a year from the Timeline and then following through with the tags or related posts if something of interest pops up.

Don’t Miss Out, Sign up to be told when there is a new post

You can sign up to be sent an email whenever I write a new post — which is handy because a lot of posts I write are in the past and so do not show up in the recent post list, which is a list of the most recent posts, chronologically.

Have fun!
