Fat footers

A fat footer is a means of showing secondary navigation, or
showcasing primary navigation, or reinforcing selected pieces of your
navigation. Here are some examples:

On a long-scroll blog page, put some choices at the bottom:
http://bokardo.com/

Put sales and branding at the top and navigation at the bottom:
http://www.dapper.net/

Promote the pages you really want them to visit:
http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/

Pizazz at the top, decision-making choices at the bottom:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/

We think it’s usually best to have a color change for the footer:

Russian music sites

art, business, technology / /

I just had a student email me asking about Russian music download sites. Here’s what I told him:

http://www.mp3sparks.com isn’t accepting payments. Dunno why. They haven’t for a long time, so they’re out of the picture, as far as I’m concerned.

I recommend looking at http://www.mp3fiesta.com now, as well as http://www.mp3sugar.com.

There’s a huge list of Russian music sites here: http://www.squidoo.com/russianmp3sites

Lots of good info there.

Oh, and don’t forget the Amazon MP3 store. It’s actually nice – cheaper than Apple, but not as cheap as the Russians!
