Summary We can now write emails which are as beautiful as any artistic paper letter and do a lot that paper correspondence can’t. We seem to keep our artistry for blogs and web pages
Do you think anyone has declared moving type to be the end of civilization in the same way people said typewriters were killing letter writing, telephones were isolating people, and television and the Internet were isolating young folk from other people? Did anyone rouse the mob to drive out that wicked Johannes Gutenberg and his dreadful machine? Certainly the people who said that telephone was killing the art of letter writing have yet to suggest that email is bringing back that same historic art.
Obviously, few emails are works of art, and you can’t write and email in a graceful flowing hand on beautiful soft crème paper with an intense and delightful color of ink. But then, most people can’t write in a graceful flowing handwriting, and never could, even with the right pen, right ink and right paper. On the other hand, what people CAN put in an email is steadily expanding. We already have the option of colored text, delightful fonts, pictures, and even animated pictures in the email. The fanciest handwriting on the most expensive paper never managed moving images. A friend of mine has picked an appealing color and an attractive handwriting’ script and used them for her name in her sig’ file. This is so every message she sends can be signed in a graceful flowing hand.’ When you email people you can send all of your friends an interesting article or photos of your newborn baby without delay and without sending photocopies of the original.
Clearly we have all the tools to revive the art of letter writing. Do we also have the patience and the artistry? Are we willing to expend that artistry and time on emails? Or, are emails doomed by their humble and colorless beginnings to forever being the brief notes of the electronic world
, while the artistry’ is poured into blogs and web pages with their larger readership and longer life?

About HTML fontsIt is very tempting to use fancy looking fonts when designing a web page. After all, the fancier the font the more attractive it will be to visitors and the more likely they will be to stay at your page once they've gotten there. Actually, the reverse is often true. Most people go to a web page because they are interested in the information that is there, either an article they want to read about something or maybe it's a product or service site that requires them to navigate....
Make Your Site’s Navigation Options Highly VisibleEffective navigation stands out. It's clear, obvious, and highly visible. You'll need to have a clear section of the page designated for navigation--one that a visitor will immediately recognize as the navigation area when he arrives at the site. Navigation should not necessarily be the prime focus, but it must be highly visible. On many sites, the main navigation is overly subdued. It sort of "lurks" on the page, but it's not the kind of thing that really gets to a visitor's consciousness. It gets drowned out because there is too much color....
