Thanks, Dr Andus.

I have done as you suggested and joined the forum.

I am taking some timid steps.

This weekend I hope to download Glen’s academic plug-in and see if I can get the hang of integrating it into my project.

Essentially what I want to do is to have authors and info related to them, and then have quotes from my various authors arranged as to themes - but am unsure how to set up the links so everything is most easily accessible. Am thinking categories might be best way to deal with the themes - or not.

If I use categories am thinking to have the word theme in each category or simply a T, in case for other reasons I want to use the word denoting the theme for a category unrelated to quotes.

I do feel overwhelmed by all the info a/b CT - and though I realize much work has gone into creating the help info still feel there’s something lacking for ppl like me who seem not to have a natural understanding of how wikis work or possibilities they offer.

This weekend I plan to spend a couple of hours doing nothing other than exploring CT.

Any help or suggestions you or others can offer is much appreciated.
