No, don’t hold back. Tell us what you really think.
The ALA wrap-up blog posts are starting to come in and of course I’m going to read KGS’. And, as usual, she’s got a way with words. Here’s the best part in all its poetic glory:
“Speaking of which… seeing the wireframes for the proposed ALA website and feeling underwhelmed. It’s not grotesquely ugly like the current site, but it’s a static organizational page about as inviting as a cold speculum. Where’s the engagement? Why are blogs squeezed way down on the right? Why does the “divisions” link exclude the Round Tables? I give it an “ix-nay,” and I’ll go into depth later.”
