In doing this, I think it has lost some of its usefulness and appeal, which are really based on its simplicity. Essential Links has several different versions of its main page. The former is kind of a stripped-down version of Essential Links, while the latter is a virtually comprehensive version, requiring far fewer trips to other pages to find more listings. My second major criticism has to do with the site's organization. As far as navigation of the site goes, links to other parts of the site always point to different pages, even when they could point to the same listings farther down on the same page.
Identical listings appear in more than one place.
And finally, there is a menu on the left side of the main page from which some links point to other sections of the site, while others point to other versions of the main page. These links are not all all distinguished. The overall effect of all of these issues is a site that is very visually busy and difficult to navigate. I can see that there's a lot here, but I think it could be presented more clearly. Send comments to Aaron Taylor .
