Sidethreads and Projections
Howard Oakley continues his wonderful series on using Storyspace to craft an interactive nonfiction hypertext on the history of painting. The latest installment, Sidethreads and Projections, dives into one of the central challenges of hypertext rhetoric: distinguishing between a link that represents a brief interjection or that offers a minor clarification, and a link the represents a major departure. Lots of thoughtful discussion, with plenty of screenshots to help beginners.
