Vulcan Text?

I am finding much of this text to be logical common sense. Does that mean I am a Vulcan? I hope not, pointy ears don't look good on me.

The need for websites to be 'user-freindly' is something that many web authors forget. They do not take readers needs into consideration when designing websites. Simple links with simple explanations work wonders for the general population and I definatly agree with his statements regarding the amount of text on a single page - less is more!

I remember when I was creating the website for my writing group (now defunct) - keeping critical elements the same throughout and making each page easy to get to and easy to read were of the highest priority. I created the original website with Front Page and did not know much about HTML (I still don't but that is a whole other story!). I used animations but only on the home page - before you actually entered the site and I am not sure if this is something that I would do today.

The website for Quill & Quire (http://www.quillandquire.com/) is a good example of many things Killian discusses in the text. The banner tells about the site and navigation buttons are located on the left side of the page. They use the short 'blurb' style followed by a link to the full article.

I also really like the way the POD publisher LULU (http://www.lulu.com/) has their site set up. Links are easy to follow and are quite extensive. If you want a tour of the publishing process you just click on the link for it and then each section is linked individually or you can take the complete tour.
