How to Review What You Very Seldom Use
I know I mentioned this before, but since no one is reading this, I'll mention it again. I don't use much of the internet. I don't read other people's blogs. I don't have a Facebook page and refuse to learn what is going on in my friends' lives by accessing theirs. I use the internet to shop. I also use it to watch TV shows, and keep abreast of newly released Asian martial arts movies, manga and anime.
So when I was asked to find six web pages and compare their white space, I was a bit challenged. Here are my offerings:

I know you may find my assessments a little bi=polar. Why did I find a page full of white space more balanced than one with only a few gaps? To me the key is whether the white space was balanced, and whether its use served the purpose of the page.
