This week on his blog, AceJet points to Miranda July's promotional website for her upcoming book release. The site is a great example of breaking out of the norms of website structures. Although most websites aim to be nonlinear in structure so that the viewer can jump to whatever page on the site he/she chooses, Miranda's site is very linear. You click the next or the previous buttons to go to adjacent pages. I found this structural design to be a nice change of pace. The conversational storytelling style made you want to know what was coming next, and you never felt as though you were missing something. It also provided insight into the author's personality. She made the site using photos taken in her own kitchen, where she wrote on her fridge and oven using a dry-erase marker. Check it out to see an interesting website structure: http://noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com/00001
