Pages 37-73

I have to comment momentarily regarding my last post - the page I was on was actually his bio page and not the home page. Frankly though, I do not find the home page that much better however must admit it is better organized. There is no mention of who Mr. Neilsen is or why the site was created but here again are a lot of links - 71 in all!!

Anyway, back to the text book - pages 49- 51 are talking about bulleted lists - and guess what? most of what the text says to do Mr. Neilsen does not do. Page 51 in particular states that bulleted lists should be short - definitely not Mr. Neilsen's way of doing it, he has a HUGE bulleted list on the 'Alertbox' page that must contain at least 50 bullets!!

Mr. Neilsen does not defy the text when it comes to language level things such as simple sentences, strong verbs and active voice - only because he has minimal text on most pages and a number of pages have notext at all!

Now I have combined two assignments into one post - clever eh?
