Then take a look at her WEBSITE and see what you think of its design. Later in this course you will be asked to design a blog. Paying attention to websites that you find graphically effective are a first step in effective and useful design. It's all part of publication, baby!

As you listen to Rowling read, pay attention to how she presents the material.
