How to Browse Blog Posts and Categories on I Saw That! (isawthat.com)
Updated
I Saw That! (isawthat.com) is a blog-style site with several browsing paths on its home page: a Latest Posts list for recent writing, a Blog entry point, and an All posts by category index for browsing by topic. There is also an Index page and an Exhibits section. Use the Latest Posts list if you want the newest articles; use the category index if you're looking for a specific subject.
What the home page offers
The home page is titled "Home" and presents the site's content through a few distinct blocks:
| Entry point | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Latest Posts | Recent articles, shown in reverse-chronological order |
| Blog | The main blog section |
| All posts by category | A topic-based index of every post |
| Index | A general listing page |
| Exhibits | A separate section of the site |
| Newsletter | Email sign-up (email address, first name, last name) |
The page also features Sub Rosa, a book by Ariel Frailich, with endorsements from Matthew Field, Nick Lewin, and David Regal, plus a "More info" link and an "Enter Shop" button. A cart indicator ("Your cart (items: 0)") and a "Go to checkout" link point to a shop that uses PayPal. If your goal is reading rather than buying, ignore the shop blocks and use the blog navigation.
Browsing by category
- From the home page, find the All posts by category link in the blog area.
- Open it to see the list of categories the site uses.
- Select a category to view its posts.
Expected result: a filtered list of posts belonging to that topic, which is faster than scrolling the full Latest Posts feed when you already know what you want.
Reading the newest posts
Use Latest Posts on the home page when you don't have a topic in mind. It surfaces the most recent entries first, so it's the quickest way to see what's new. The Blog link leads to the same body of writing in its main section view.
Other sections worth knowing
- Index — a listing page separate from the category view; useful if you want an overview rather than a topic filter.
- Exhibits — its own section, distinct from the blog posts.
- Newsletter — sign up with your email address and name if you want updates delivered rather than checking the site.
Common snags
- Landing in the shop by mistake. The home page mixes book promotion and shop links with blog navigation. If you see a cart or checkout, you've moved into the store area—return to the blog links.
- Category page looks empty. Confirm you selected a category rather than the general index; the category view only shows posts assigned to that topic.
- Looking for a specific old post. Try the category index first, then the Index page; the Latest Posts feed only covers recent entries.
