Speaking of meta-data, has everyone checked out <http://hotsauce.apple.com/>?
I've "sauced my site", and now give users a choice of *3* site maps: text,
table, and HotSauce (3-D fly-through for Win95/NT and MacOS PPC/68K). I put
the "text" choice first, for quick access to Lynx users (and left out my
usual title graphics so that it's the first link on that page). Funny thing
is, I figured most people would go for the text version (for speed), but I
guess curiosity or eyecandy desire makes the spread pretty even across all
three choices. Which is good, since I feel better about the time I spent
creating those choices! <G>
