Spartan Beauty

What can I share this week in Com 125? Well, if I were to focus on teaching people something about blogging or this piece of communication marvel; then it is tempting to say that more is not always better.

If you notice the layout of my blog, it's not bogged down with pictures, menu bars and other "technological garbage" that fills up so many of our fellow blogs. Now why would a self proclaimed "techie" like me choose such a spartan setup?

It is simple. Ergonomically speaking, the less clutter there is to distract your audience, the better they are better able to concentrate on the message you are intending to send them. First basic rule of any communication, regardless of medium is to focus your audience's attention on what you want them to pay attention to.

If you think what I am talking about is nonsense, then ask yourself why Google is the number 1 search engine for English users around the globe? It's because it gives you what you want to see, without bothersome advertisements and clutter of silly menus present in Yahoo and the other hateful search engines. If I want to find something, I do not want to see garbage that I'm not looking for period.

I hope this was an informative lesson on how to use blogs and why it is best to have less.

Alauz Out!
