    Basic navigation in BelieveTheSign

    BelieveTheSign articles are all linked, or cross-referenced.

    Wherever you see text in blue, it means there is a link to some relevant article or BelieveTheSign page with further information elsewhere if you need it. Holding your mouse over the link will often show you where a link will take you. These links mean that articles do not need to cover common ground in depth; instead, you are always one click away from more information on any point that has a link attached.

    There are other links towards the ends of most articles, for other articles of interest, relevant external web sites and pages, reference material.

    Some articles may also have links to dictionary definitions, video clips, audio readings, quotes, and eventually we would like to have links to the same article in other languages.
