Resources

I often click out of a page with too many words and not enough white space to know where to begin reading. I really like sites that use type and text animation to dynamically engage the reader with its site. This can keep the viewer a few moments longer, before navigating to another site. Here are some resource sites to help you while you experiment. These sites have step by step tutorials and are very helpful...
