Welcome to my Web site. VirtualSalt is at its core an educational site, containing resources for learners of all kinds--college and university students, whether on campus, commuting, or attending online, and those who want to get a university degree someday, people who want to find information and want a bit of assistance in searching for it. I  have divided the site into categories to help you navigate, but feel free to choose anything from any category that appeals to you. Also included are several of my fictional works, including a complete novel, The Million Dollar Girl.

What's New:
New this time is a parable, Faith, Reason, and Knowledge, and two new word games, Build a Word and Claim a Word. And check out What is God's Will? Recent posts include an article discussing How to Write Better Poetry, cast largely in the form of a dialog, and a companion article discussing whether studying poetry is useless. And on my wife's site, check out the lemon cookie recipe.

VirtualSalt is user supported. A dollar or two would be welcome. Thank you.

If you are looking for a Web host, I warmly recommend IPOWER. They have been my web host for about nine years now, and their reliability is great. Page loads are fast (big pipe), and tech support is always available quickly. And the price is unbelievable. As they say in the advertising world, "Don't let the low price fool you."
