Still working through the article, but does anyone else think the layout is really, really bad? I know it's all the rage these days to lay things out blogozine style, but this seems worse than most.

When outlining a 3 step process, do you really need a gigantic image of the numbers "1, 2, 3" half the height of my screen?

The illustrations don't really complement the text, and interrupt text flow. The font choice is also questionable for screen readability...

The giant "1, 2, 3" is an attempt to add Rock amongst a slew of talk.

Especially annoying was that the images were presented before they were mentioned in the text. The reader is interrupted from reading text to see this large image that has nothing to do with the preceding text.

But it's consistent with the article's main idea: to rock before you talk.

That is, while it may be annoying to a reader, it should be preferable to a rocker. :)

Yes, I completely agree. I couldn't read beyond the first couple of paragraphs because it was so difficult to read. If I'm having to work to read an article and it's not something that's completely amazing, I'm going to stop reading :)
