Some of my how to do it in Joomla menu items are short online written notes that I made while setting up my site  (tagged "OL:" in the menu items.)  The remaining untagged menu items are longer offline written articles that I wrote using Open Office Writer and tested/corrected  before uploading to the site.

The OT: tagged menu items point to a list of on-line written articles in my "Carl's Joomla Notes" Section and "How my Joomla site came to be" Category.   Each menu item points to a different element of the list -- activating any one of the menu items brings it up with a Prev/Next navigation choice at the bottom of the displayed article.

Each of my untagged menu items in  this menu invoke a new browser page displaying an article I have written.  These articles -- short and long -- can be navigated like any web page with the browser.  Embedded hyperlinks in these articles can navigate to article-internal bookmarks or to article-external general WWW addresses.  

In my longer offline-written articles accessed here or from other menus,  I often use lots of internal bookmarks to help readers navigate about sections.   Using full browser navigation is very useful when reading my articles,  since it allows for non-serial consideration of subject matter,  aided by active hyperlink lists of sections and lists of illustrations within the articles.  My visitor's browser is a superb tool that enables linking from lists to the ultiate article element. 

Of course when done,  all a visitor has to do is using the browser's "back" button repeatedly (or with shortcuts)  to ultimately get back to my Joomla site in the how to do it in Joomla menu.
