Let's talk about love for plants in this episode! A lady named Rosemary Ponte is really a plant lover. She has been serious about gardening since she was around twenty. She enjoys having the gardening lessons and talking to other gardeners. The article written by Laura Gwinn describes how Rosemary feels about gardening. Imagine how much love can be devoted to plants by humans!
When you go to the webpage (simply click "Love Episode Four"), you could be attracted by the picture at once. It is a slideshow of six images about Rosemary's vegetable garden. By inserting a slideshow, more space can be saved for the article. The use of a slideshow succeeds in allowing readers' to stop watching the pictures any time they like. Just quit the slideshow by clicking a cross (it's handy)! As the slideshow is placed at the beginning of the article, the beautiful pictures of the garden actually function as an eye-catching spot and a mean to arouse readers' interest in the article. This is in fact a very powerful technique for designing a webpage.
Laura chose to quote Rosemary's words for her entire article with some narrations. She used a single spacing between quotes which made her article clear and easy to read. This kind of layout is effective for presenting quotes and dialogues. It is also a clever way to include lots of quotes, so that the readers can share the authentic experience of Rosemary in gardening. I guess all readers of online articles are curious to know about others' experience. They may expect to read a direct, precise and concise layout of an article because this will save their time. As a reader, I feel Rosemary's enthusiasm for plants.
Taking care of a garden is never an easy job. Time, love and passion should be devoted to gardening. You may start to cultivate some species of plants instead of a garden. Eventually, you may become an expert of plants!
