================
G'day all,
I've been sitting on the side (down-under) for a month or so now, keeping up
with (most) of the threads, but now a question has come up and it's time to
ask
for some opinions please.
Given the following two layout styles, and the fact that we are using color
for
headings, numbers, and bullets, is there a reason for using one layout
instead
of the other?
Layout 1
| Text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text. |
| 1 Text text. |
| 2 Text text. |
| Text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text. |
| * Text text. |
| * Text text. |
Layout 2
| Text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text. |
| 1 Text text. |
| 2 Text text. |
| Text text text text text text |
| text text text text text text. |
| * Text text. |
| * Text text. |
Thanks in advance for your comments.
