theideamechanic site is pretty simple to get around.
Sometimes though, when you’re navigating in unfamiliar waters, having a map and a guide can help you from getting lost or running aground.
This article gives you a few quick tips on how to find what you’re looking for on theideamechanic site. If all else fails, contact us. Maybe we can help you.
So tighten your mainsheet, drop the centerboard, and get ready to set sail! Here are five tips for getting around theideamechanic site:
At the top of the page is the navigation bar, you can’t miss it. In the first column on the left is the (HOME) button. Clicking it will bring you back to the main home page.
In the second column (THEIDEAMECHANIC) are links to help you learn about theideamechanic, the Convince Me! approach & the five tools behind it, and where to start if you’re new to the site. In the third column (THE IDEA MECHANICS) are links to products and services from the Idea Mechanics. Want to do it yourself? Explore theideamechanic menu. Need some convincing help? Call on the Idea Mechanics.
The fourth column (CONTACT) is pretty self-explanatory.
At the bottom of the page you’ll find a second navigation bar. There’s not much to say about this one, it’s a text version of the main navigation bar at the top of the page. I put it here just in case you don’t want to scroll to the top of the page. And as Forest Gump would say “… and that’s all I have to say about that.”
Have you ever visited a website and wondered “Just WHERE should I start!?” I have, that’s why I’d suggest you follow the yellow brick road. The yellow brick road is a list of ten posts that will help you get started. In fact, I’ll bet you’re here because you already started following it!
Oh, one thought before we tack to the next channel buoy: at the bottom of each post are “Previous/Next” links to the remaining articles. Just keep reading and clicking Next … you’ll find yourself in the presence of the great Oz in no time at all.
If you’re looking for something specific, I’ve included a really great search engine. The Relevanssi search engine is a pretty cool. It performs localized, fuzzy serach matches and returns a page showing short excerpts with your search results highlighed. You can read more about it here if you like.
You can also find posts on the site that match either a specific category or tag.
If you don’t want to browse using the category and tag lists, you can go to a dump page that will give you a link to every post and page on theideamechanic site. Some posts are in multiple categories, so they’ll show up on this page more than once. Posts are listed under their categories, have their publish date listed, and indicate how many comments for each post.

There you go. Simple, eh? … and you didn’t get lost. Congratulations, you’re now a bonafide sea captain! Now let’s learn more about why you’re really here, to learn a better way of selling. Read the next post.
