# Site guide: orientation to the website
## Three areas
> [!three-areas]
>
> - **Welcome** — learn about me and my work.
> - **Research** — explore my research briefs and understand my approach.
> - **News** — see announcements and milestones.
## Navigation
> [!navigation]
>
> - **On wide displays** use the **navigation bar** at left, the **visual navigator** at top right (it shows a web of links to and from the current page), and **search** near the top left. You can expand the visual navigator by clicking the icon in its top right corner.
> - **On narrow displays** use the **menu** at top left — it also includes **search** (but does not include the visual navigator).
## Tips
> [!tips]
>
> - **Navigating on the current page**: On wide displays, the right sidebar shows a clickable outline, for jumping to any section on the page.
> - **Copying links to specific sections on the current page**: To copy a link to any section, hover over (or tap) the text of the heading. An icon will appear at left. Click (or tap) the icon to copy a direct link to that section. You can then share the link or keep it someplace for future reference.
> - **Selecting green or blue links.** Green links point to pages on this site. Blue links point to other sites.
> - **Switching between light mode and dark mode**: On wide displays, the toggle is below the logo. On narrow ones, it’s on the menu.
## Technology
> [!technology]
>
> The site runs on Obsidian Publish, an SPA (single-page application) platform for publishing highly intra-linked knowledge bases. I adjusted and extended its appearance and behavior for my purposes using custom CSS, SCSS, and JavaScript.
>
> I’ve instrumented the site using a privacy-first, GDPR-compliant analytics service called Plausible (based in Germany and Finland) to get a sense of which pages are most useful. It tracks only aggregate usage patterns (not individuals), uses no cookies, and respects Do Not Track settings.
