The use of "white space" - for that read any blank area without graphics or text can be essential in leading your viewer around a page or to emphasise elements of your message and has been employed to great effect within the print industry for years. Web design has always missed this point, seeking to cram in as many elements as possible in the hope that some of it sticks. I think it is high time web designers - many of whom have little or no graphical training - paid attention to this key element of design. Less most definitely CAN be more.

I have to agree that integrating Social Media into an online publication like Point Zero is a challenge. I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with. In the mean time should anyone else have any brilliant ideas, I would be more than happy to forward them to you. I will be checking out issues 2 and 3, and will be more than happy to write a follow up review at that time. Cheers, Marc Hi Mark, thanks for stopping by.

Great to hear peoples thoughts on the magazine. I really think this publication can and will work very well, although it will need our subscribers to stick with us for the 1st couple of months and am really hoping some of the content is strong enough to engage through this. We are looking to integrate as many social media features as possible over the next few issues. Trying to demonstrate the possibilities of the software we are using with nothing like it on the market has proven difficult for the 1st issue and has been the main reason for not having much to show presently. Am sure as we can start to integrate, the process will become much easier and the magazine and our subscribers will benefit from this. If you have any suggestions for ideas in forthcoming issues we would love to hear them, or alternatively i would like to catch up again when we have published the 3rd issue and have you review our progress.

The same technology that allows Google to index your site can be used by other clever programmers to leave comments on blogs, automatically, without the site ever being looked-over by a human being. Akismet helps filter out this sort of thing, if you're using Wordpress. I think Google may have started filtering for these sorts of backlinks, but I also think that 10,000 backlinks, to a site you don't care if it gets banned, makes commercial sense to these people.
