Editing of ALV Continues

EDITING of the ALV website continues almost daily.  Each edit removes about 10 percent or more of the verbiage. Some pages have probably received 20 or more edits, leaving them a fraction of their original description. Your favorite page may read easier. The broken link may take you to the page you could not open earlier. Rambling notes may now appear concise and organized, as well as describe one point without distractions.

The initial choice of which page to edit began with descriptions on the first page as though a reader chose to read the site as a book. As a reader would follow links from one page to another, editing proceeded by making sure links from that page work and remain sufficient, then opening pages for those links one at a time. Each linked page for at least four levels of links has received the same treatment as the first page. Along the way, pages have been eliminated or consolidated into new ones and added to various guides on the navigation bar, Table of Contents, and Glossary. These addition sometimes required new pages in order to provide smoother transitions of content from one page to another.

A second pattern for editing emerged by doing what some readers do by starting with navigation guides, then following links to pages of interest. Each page received the same treatment as though readers use the site as a book.

Given the two patterns for selecting pages allowed switching between them as starting and follow-up editing.

Taken together, probably 100 pages have received one or more edits in the past month. More editing is underway and planned. Hopefully you will find the site easier to use as you try to do what you do to accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning promptly and dramatically.
