Oh, I'm all for individual expression. I'll grant you that as long as it's clear what is and what isn't a hyperlink, constency or a "style sheet" may not be necessary. But at the same time, it seems a site should be pretty intuitive to use -- or visitors aren't going to stick around long enough to figure out how to navigate it. And why risk the chance that folks might miss important information? Isn't the point of informaiton design to ensure people are receiving the information? ------------------------------------------ Janice Hecht Coordinator, Adaptive Technology Services Southern Connecticut State University 501 Crescent Street, EN5 New Haven, CT 06515 Phone: 203-392-5797 Fax: 203-392-5796 HECHT@SOUTHERNCT.EDU http://www.southernct.edu/departments/atl
