Everything is just so packed in the new timeline layout and they are trying to place everything in the centre of the webpage. I found it especially not reader friendly when one's has so many long posts. The previous lesson of Writing for New Media reminded me when I started noticing the importance of layout, the modality.
At first, I thought the modality theory wasn't familiar to me as I didn't use it and it didn't sound useful. However, after a while, I realised that I have been using it since I was a kid, unconsciously. The reason is that as I have browsed through thousands of webpages, I started to have a concepts of how a webpage is designed and where does particular information appears in a webpage, then I could applied the concepts to new webpages I visited and find things I wanted to find. This is about layout of a webpage, that's MODALITY!!! I have been using it since I was a kid without knowing I can? OMG! what else have I been doing without knowing i can? I don't know...
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
