I'm intrigued, why do you have a word count at the bottom of the page?


Habit! :-) I also routinely write for magazines, etc, where the word count
is useful for editors and myself to estimate how well the item fits an
allocated space. And I try to keep a webpage to being of a 'reasonable'
length for someone to read in one go.

In cases like this it helps me decide when a topic might be better split
into a set of pages. Initially, I planned to write a single webpage on the
entire Armstrong review history from 1932 to the 1980s. But quickly
realised it would make sense to split it into 'Eras'. Easier to write as
well as read. And in practice I suspect some people will be interested in
one section rather than another. Currently, I'm planning to split it over 4
webpages. The first and last of which are yet to be written.

As I go, of course, I keep finding items that fit into a section I've done.
So I may eventually expand the pages a bit.

I have the info I need for the 'silicon era'. But am still searching though
potential references for the 'radio chassis' era.

I also add the date to help me keep track of when something was written.
(Sometimes a webpage comes from an item I wrote earlier.)
