Did you find what you wanted?

The search results asks, "Did you find what you wanted?" Today I was curious about the quantity of files at donnayoung.org. In case you wanted to know and perhaps you did not ever give it a thought, but are wondering now, here are two search results performed on my computer. Of course, it is possible that not every single file is online, but this does give an idea of the size of donnayoung.org. Not only that, but sometimes a person asks me to make a file with certain specifications. I try my best to accommodate these requests. Sometimes I can get files made in a timely manner but at this time of the year, I have a long to-do list.
892 DOC Files
There are, at least on my computer in the DY file, 892 doc files. For the sake of compatibility, there are 444 rtf files. Yet, this is not nearly enough files.
This would also explain why I do not have just one page with all of these files linked in one handy spot.
Of course, everyone who has visited donnayoung.org more than once might see that PDF is most prevalent.
4828 PDF Files
Why are most of the files PDF? Because many of the pdf files were first made with a paint program and never were in doc or rtf format.
Web Pages
How many web pages do I have? Not including this blog, there are 2421 web pages at donnayoung.org. For the most part those pages exist to display links to the printable files. I do not have many "articles" at donnayoung.org. Regarding articles - I could say a lot, I have a lot to say. Perhaps when I am satisfied over the quantity of forms I offer, I can talk about homeschooling. Will that ever happen?
XLS
I really like xls files and I am currently working on a big one, which, at this time, is only on the new Site CD. No one can tell this from looking at my web site, but there are over 100 xls files at donnayoung.org. It is possible that not all of them are online. It is possible that they are online but not linked. It is also possible that I have them and do not intend to put them online. I have a tendency to create complicated files, then not link them because of the time consuming help pages that they require. Do not worry though, someday I will get it all ironed out.

The Whole Blog
It is possible that you have busted my brain just thinking about all those files and the work you put in them. It is very possible that I have printed every single one of those files. And it is also possible,even with a busted brain, that I am very thankful for you and all of your hard work.
The square with the red pdf symbols makes me dizzy. lol
Thank you Michelle. I appreciate you for being my friend for going on 9 years.
I hope that you find time to write those articles, Donna.
It is lovely to see how your website has grown in size and quality since I found you way back when…somewhere between 98 & 2000. I can pretty much say that I’ve always found what I wanted here!
Your website is beyond comparison. When someone tells me that they are going to start homeschooling, I always direct them here.
Nine years! Has it really been that long?
You are freakin’ awesome!
Thank you Tressa! =)
Sheri, I didn’t know you found it that long ago. That’s a long long time!
It’s been about 9. =) I like your adjectives. lol
I agree, best homeschooling website. I refer new homeschoolers all the time too and tell them about the animated cursive on your CD.
Hard to believe my little girl tracing those animated letters is in 8th grade now. Thanks for being there and providing inspiration, encouraging words and format all along my homeschool journey.
Thank you Lisa!
So much time has passed! I remember that you told me she liked the animations back when we were at the forums.
Thanks for your hard work. I love your site and use it often. Perhaps if you included the title of the document at the bottom of the page along with your website info it would be helpful to find the ones I’m looking for. I have a printout, and and going through the links and am having trouble getting the one I want. I used to do this on documents when I worked for Estee Lauder. It was a great timesaver.
Stacy, that is an excellent suggestion; I should do that.
