Or, go directly to a category listing.  I will include these URLs at the end of this post.</span></font></strong></strong><font size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;"></span></font></p> <p><strong><strong><font face="Garamond" color="#006400" size="4"><span style="FONT-SIZE:13.5pt;COLOR:darkgreen;FONT-FAMILY:Garamond;">However, the most efficient way to access this information is available to those with a spider and an indexing.search engine.  Obviously, anyone with a SharePoint search facility can index this blog.  However, it is not as easy that.  The SharePoint spider cannot crawl a blog, it just accesses the aggregate page, which was never useable, in my view.  So, I developed jump tables that hold the URLs to all the individual posts in the blog, and using the techniques that I wrote up in an How To article, you can set up a content source that will allow you to index my blog posts, and then search them locally on your intranet, and then access single posts individually.  I will also include these URLs at the end of this post.</span></font></strong></strong><font size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;"></span></font></p> <p><strong><strong><font face="Garamond" color="#006400" size="4"><span style="FONT-SIZE:13.5pt;COLOR:darkgreen;FONT-FAMILY:Garamond;">Hollis Paul</span></font></strong></strong><strong><font face="Garamond" color="#006400" size="4"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold;FONT-SIZE:13.5pt;COLOR:darkgreen;FONT-FAMILY:Garamond;"><br /><strong><strong><font face="Garamond"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Garamond;">Mukilteo, WA.
