I wonder how newcomers feel when they first visit BoyWiki? Though the site is, in many ways, very professionally done, and the presentation is often excellent (barring the occasional typographical errors intrusively studding some of the category pages), I wonder how visitors feel when it comes to actually ''locating'' the ''content'' (the individual articles) on BoyWiki?

"But ''where'' are all the articles?", a newcomer might well ask. For someone in a hurry (or lacking much patience) BoyWiki, on the surface, appears to contain ''very little'' real content, in terms of articles.
