Information explosion

There is plenty to read on the Web. There's also plenty of detail on the Web. An article on the Chicago Tribune's website http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0702260082feb26,1,1134512.column?page=2&coll=chi-news-hed has plenty of detail on the story in 2 pages. Also, the use of links in text leads the reader in a lot of places (s)he might want to go. If you want to know how to do it yourself, there's plenty of help. A Google search yielded, among others, www.webreference.com/content/writing/ and www.alistapart.com/articles/writeliving/. Of course, if you want to know what not to do, go to www.webpagesthatsuck.com and check out some of the 10 worst sites. All bad design, but some bad writing, too.

I'm commenting on my own post. Sorry about the Trib link that requires registration. You can get around that by simply going to Chicagotribune.com and linking to the story.
