I like to start with structure then break it down. Others like to start with the broken down bits and create structure. Was just speaking about this with Liz, as a matter of fact. Anyway, I am finding that trying to address the needs of both types of individuals within a single assignment is quite challenging.

I get that you like charts, and this is so charts on 'roids. My only problem, and this is apparently a problem with visuals that have text in them...(as I have tried to wrangle a huge diagram like PKE onto a printed page and still be able to read the text...) ....images need to be pretty big on a screen to have text that is readable in size...and in this case I can't read a great deal of the text in the images...and even the chart itself has tiny tiny text. Kind of ironic, in this case, because we still often depend on at least some text to explain what we are looking at. But I'm sure PTVM will still help me rule the world, even if I go blind trying. Enjoying this blog a lot! Including vodpod and blogroll with the useful trailfires. John Bethany,
