Good Design Is Essential

From , former About.com Guide

A Cat By Any Other Name

On the left side of the page the column is left blank of text and is replaced by a pretty image. All the text is on the right side of the page. This being an online diary it has the most recent postings listed, along with a title for each, on the homepage. There is also a short poem as an added touch.

At the bottom of the page is the navigation. There are several layers of navigation here. The first layer go to other pages on this site or related to this site. The next layer are links to other Web sites or to her own works that are not directly related to her diary. The final layer is a Webring. It takes you to other online diaries so you can keep reading.

She has a very good "Who" page that tells you who she is and gives you some background information so you know who you are reading about. There is a link to her "Wishlist" on Amazon. I find this very interesting and somewhat unique. There is a page where you can sign up to receive a notice by email every time she updates here site. She has a "PhotoBlog" so you can see and get a feel of what is going on in her life. There is also a rather extensive "Archive" page so you can read all the entries to her online diary all the way back to the beginning of the year 2000.
