Funny, I just wrote a long rant (inside my http://accesswriters.com/htmltext.shtml page for writers, about creating Web pages) about how
the historical accident that graphic designers/typesetters migrated to/invented the new "profession" of Web design -- how as a secondary
effect, that created boring pages. And how, as a subsequent effect, that caused market researchers to decide the Web isn't a tool for
selling. Web designed for CONTENT people (writers). Therefore
(Web designers = non-content people)=boring Web pages.
Yes, I am being provocative. I stand behind everything I say, however. (-8
And for foreigners, I am female -- I know it should be "Carole," but it's not. It's too late for me to explain this to my parents.
