While going through this week's readings I was pleasantly surprised to find that the readings by Sharon Lee were easy to read. I actually enjoyed the layout of her site, as well as what she happened to be writing about. I am particularly fond of her article, 'Human-to-Human Design.'

I like the idea of creating websites that aren't so completely generalized that they don't really work for anyone. When tailoring a website to a specific audience, one does risk excluding other prospective readers, however, if the topic of the website is completely irrelevant to someone who, to use Lee's example, isn't a real estate agent, then that person should be able to find that out before wasting ample amounts of time searching through the site for an answer that isn't there.

On a separate note, I also found it rather amusing that in her 'Understanding Web Design' article, that she mentioned Blogger's minima layout, giving prime examples of how the simplest design can be used, altered, and loved by so many different people.

  1. Now will this mean you will give a try at altering the design of your own blog or do you find this to be the best?
