Today's Task

What I would like you to do for me today is:

"Discuss the features which characterise high-quality blogs, for example: usability;
navigation; structure; connectedness presentation. Usability covers areas like ease of navigation, ease
of finding information, visual appeal and ability to recover from errors. Navigation includes
backtracking, timeline navigation, search facilities and threading. Structure includes concepts such as
linear and hierarchical structures, timelines and semantic blogging. Connectedness is concerned with
links, particularly top other blogs and newsfeeds, but also to the Web in general. Presentation covers
the visual and typographical aspects of blogs."


For each of the points mentioned describe what these sites do well and what they don't. Simple.

Create a new word document and write your findings there. Remember to state the name, url and what the blog is about.
