The main thrust of this website is to provide information about well logging, but
Poor Boy Supply Co. (PBS)
, a "sub domain", provides information about downhole pumps and oil production. A second sub domain, the
Tallini Tales of Destruction, contains amazing historical
nitroglycerin stories. The organization of www.logwell.com is one of
simple hierarchal menus listing the various webpages contained herein. To get a feel for the
layout / structure of this website, see the AnaLog Site Map
and the PBS Site Map.
There is nothing complicated about navigating www.logwell.com. For starters, try the navigation bars at
the bottom of all pages (also to the left on the home page). The navigation bars will
always get you back to the menu(s) that covers the page you are on, and to the home page. In
addition, menu pages have a more complete navigation bar. Pages are hyperlinked to each other, and to
outside pages, throughout the site. Hyperlinks are generally blue, changing to violet once visited,
except on a few pages where the background necessitates a different color scheme. Usually, external
links are so identified.
Most of the interesting technical material can be found starting at the
AnaLog
Technical Stuff & Tips (Tech & Tips)
or the
Poor Boy Supply Co. Technical Stuff & Tips (Tech & Tips)
menus. Our
Subject Index
or
Page Title Index
can help you find pages relating to specific areas of interest, and our internal search engine
Search Page
can be used for more detailed research. Selected pages have a "Quick Search" feature as can be seen
below (Quick Search uses "or" logic and a short search output format by default, while the
Search Page is more versatile).
We periodically add new pages; check the
Modifications Log (ModLog)
from time to time to keep up with what is new. Also see
What's New
for announcements and press releases.
Trivia
The small independent segment of the well logging / wireline industry is poorly represented on the web.
For instance, east of the Mississippi, few independent well loggers have websites; some do not yet even have
email addresses. Of course that will change with time. AnaLog Services, Inc
. decided during the summer of 1999 that it was high time this company had a www presence.
We started out with an experimental site on the free Geocities service, now part of Yahoo (these free website
offerings are great places to learn the basics of creating a website). Next we needed a domain name.
Many of our first choices were already spoken for; however, logwell.com was available and we grabbed it .
We are now hosted by Mindspring / Earthlink and we have been fairly well pleased with them.
Nobody here is an html expert, nor did anyone volunteer to become one (and it shows). This site is built
with Microsoft Publisher; a program with serious shortcomings when used to do websites. When we decided
to switch to Microsoft's premium html generator, Front Page, we were shocked to find that the html generated by
Publisher is not easily moved into Front Page. Unbelievably, html created by two different members of the
Microsoft Office family are not compatible. A conscious decision has been made to limit graphical content
because at our remote location connect rates are fairly slow, and we know how frustrating lengthy page load times
can be (the standard mantra of incompetent webmasters incapable of producing nice graphics). We have no great
love for Microsoft, but these pages do look best when viewed with Internet Explorer (IE) with "Text Size" set
to "Medium". Netscape is used to check all pages, but slight differences are often seen;
if you use Netscape, "Text Size" should be set to "100% (Original size)". This site is presently
optimized for 800x600 monitor screen resolution.
