Strain and Griffith

The biggest thing I got out of these two articles was that content is ultimately the most important part of a hypertext. Yes, it is good to have a good web design that catches the attention of the reader, but ultimately the reader is there at your site to learn something. This can really only happen through good writing, and at least a substantial amount of writing. While too much text can deter the reader, it is important to use links and maps and other web designs to disguise the amount of text that you have. Since it is a hypertext, there really shouldn't be a specific order to the text. This way, the reader can decide when they've read enough. I am going to try and add more text to my hypertext, but use more pages too so it does not appear to be loaded with text and paragraphs of writing.
