Joe, just because the Web is "real" doesn't mean it has to be completely opaque. It's been a staple of writing instruction for a Very Long Time that good writers put up a few signposts along the way to help readers stay oriented. It's a good idea for print, and a good idea for the Web, too. "Good design is accessible design." Please note our new name and URL!
