👨‍💻 User Guide 📋

Dear Readers,

👨‍💻 User Guide 📋

Welcome! This guide serves to benefit those who visit SoundEagle🦅’s intellectual home, sonic nest, musical den and artistic eyrie so that they can become much more adept at spotting and making good use of the myriad bells and whistles.

May you soon become one of the “power users” of SoundEagle🦅’s website, seamlessly exploring anything of interest and completely at home with whatever fascinations or intellectual challenges that you may encounter when perusing any quantity of 📑Posts and Pages📃!

You may indeed perceive that SoundEagle🦅’s website is highly distinctive and intriguing as well as simultaneously impressive and challenging. As some of you are probably very well aware by now, SoundEagle🦅 likes to achieve a good synergy in presenting and balancing many diverse and complementary components, including but not limited to those pertaining to writing, because this website, whilst not lacking in textual information by any means, is also laden with graphics and multimedia as well as user interface and styling elements corresponding to thematic or topical requirements.

To assist you in getting to grips with SoundEagle🦅’s website, here are the recommendations:

1. SoundEagle🦅’s 📑Posts and Pages📃 are being regularly improved, updated and/or expanded regardless of when they were first published. Therefore, it can be a very good idea and a highly rewarding exercise to visit existing 📑Posts and Pages📃 on a regular basis to discover for yourself some new surprises and delights, all awaiting you there. Those who ponder the question of what 📑Posts to read according to their areas of interest or expertise are welcome to click the following button:

   📰 Recommended Posts ✅🪧

2. Since SoundEagle🦅’s 📑Posts and Pages📃 contain advanced styling and multimedia components plus animations, you should visit these 📑Posts and Pages📃 directly in the websites where SoundEagle🦅 has published them, so that you will be able to see and experience all of the refined and glorious details. The special design and its “look and feel” can be better appreciated in situ at the website rather than via the WordPress Reader, which often cannot fully reproduce the sophisticated results engendered by advanced styling and formatting plus dynamic animations, which are images and stories that are animated on their own. You will be shocked to see how much difference there is.

   In a nutshell, visit SoundEagle🦅’s 📑Posts and Pages📃 directly rather than viewing them through the WordPress Reader, which cannot authentically and adequately reproduce the sophisticated look and feel of this website, because the Reader is not conducive at all to displaying webpages with advanced styling and formatting as well as animations.

3. Use a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen to view the rich multimedia contents available for heightening your multisensory enjoyment at SoundEagle🦅’s websites, which could be too powerful and feature-rich for iPad, iPhone, tablet or other portable devices to handle properly or adequately.

4. Click “About 🛅” to receive a good orientation plus useful recommendations on selected tools and features in order to be familiar with the nature and purpose of this website. The “About 🛅” Page📃 explicates in detail the various functions and features of the website and its components.

5. Use the following keyboard shortcuts for zooming in/out on a 📑Post or Page📃, and for viewing in full screen:

   Operation	Windows & Linux	Mac
   Zoom In	Ctrl and +	⌘ and +
   Zoom Out	Ctrl and –	⌘ and –
   Zoom Original	Ctrl and 0	⌘ and 0
   Full-Screen Mode	F11	⌘ + Ctrl + F

6. Peruse as much of a 📑Post or Page📃 as you can without skimming it. The longest 📑Posts and Pages📃 are effectively multimedia publications meant for serving users as versatile and comprehensive enchiridions or reference books. Well-formatted and in-depth discussions, analyses and conclusions aside, they contain plenty of hyperlinks, tooltips, quotations, charts, tables, illustrations, animations, infographics and bullet-point summaries as well as navigational menus. Each book-length 📑Post or Page📃 simultaneously exhibits the features and combines the functions of a long-form essay, investigative research, academic dissertation, scholarly monograph and dynamic web document.

7. Click Submit Comment 💬 available in the top or bottom widget to submit your Thoughts💭 or Comments💬 to SoundEagle🦅 when viewing any 📑Post or Page📃. Alternatively, scroll to the end of the comment section to submit a comment using the comment box provided.

8. Read some or all of the comments situated in the comment section of a 📑Post or Page📃 to get a good sense of the Thoughts💭 or Comments💬 of other followers and visitors.

9. In certain 📑Posts and Pages📃, you will find one or more navigational menu(s) containing internal links, which you can click to jump instantly to different sections of the particular 📑Post or Page📃. By using the navigational menu(s), you can more easily resume reading from any point of a long 📑Post or Page📃 over multiple sessions in your own time. The following presents an example of a navigational menu available at the top and bottom of the expansive 📑Post entitled The Quotation Fallacy “💬”:

   Menu

   • Introduction: Fostering Quotational Excellence
   • Misquotation: Improper Quoting, Sourcing, Context, Appropriation
   • Emotions and Biases: Affect Heuristic, Stereotype, Attribution Bias
   • Logic versus Fame: Formal Fallacy, Genetic Fallacy, Halo Effect
   • Authority Bias and Author Bias: Expert Influence, Creator Persuasion
   • Classical Logic: Contradiction, Context, Scope, Validity, Generalizability
   • Compromise and Subjectivity: Special Pleading and Relativist Fallacy
   • Definition and Ramifications: Description, Scope and Corollaries
   • Illustrated Quotations: Inspirational and Thought-Provoking Quotes

10. Hovering (with a mouse cursor or by other means) over a hyperlinked text or image may bring up a tooltip showing you additional information. So, it pays to hover on any item of interest to obtain extra information.

    The following excerpt from the post entitled “🦅 SoundEagle in Earth Day 🌍🌎🌏” demonstrates the citation-sequence system or the Vancouver reference style involving the use of the bracketed and superscripted sequential reference numbers and the respective numbered entries in the reference list. Hovering the mouse cursor over where any of the reference numbers appears in the text will bring up a tooltip showing the corresponding full citation. This on-demand and in-situ feature enables the reader to see the citation proper without being interrupted by being taken to the reference list to see the same after clicking or touching the reference number to jump to the corresponding entry in the reference list, and then having to return to the point of departure by clicking or touching the caret symbol (^) at the right of each reference number in the reference list. In fact, this useful pop-up feature can even replace both parenthetical referencing or Harvard referencing and the citation-sequence system or the Vancouver reference style.

    Earth Day is an annual day on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the EarthDay.org (formerly called Earth Day Network),^[1] and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.^[2] In 2009, the United Nations designated 22 April International Mother Earth Day.^[3] Earth Day is planned for April 22 in all years at least through 2015.^[4]

    Some tooltips also deliver full bibliographical information. Considering that certain 📑Posts and Pages📃 are very long and extensive, the provision of tooltips as a way of implementing citations using the combination of on-demand, in-situ pop-up references and hyperlinks is a matter of prudence and practicality to dispense with the overly expansive space that would otherwise be required to accommodate a bibliography or reference list whose entries are in the hundreds, which would have made any one of the already lengthy 📑Posts and Pages📃 even longer.

12. A triangle bullet ► in front of an element indicates that the element is a disclosure widget from which the user can obtain additional information, controls or citations, and above which the cursor turns into a pointer. Click the triangle or the element to toggle between showing and hiding the content within the disclosure widget. Try doing so with the following examples:
