Writing critiques on a web site that uses good design skills and one that is poorly designed web skills was not an easy task. The good web site and the one I really liked seemed as if it was easier to write about http://www.rollingstone.com . The bad site I refer to is the site I do not like and is located at http://www.pinkmonkey.com .
For my first critique I have chosen the web site from the magazine, Rolling Stone to which I have subscribed to for over 20 years.

When looking for a book that is required reading for all high school or college students it took 3 times to finally get the query right. It may not have the book listed by the title but by the author for some books and for others it may have the title of the book as the result but not cross-reference to the author. Making it difficult and confusing to get fast and accurate results. The appearance is dull and boring and it is the worst drawing of a monkey I have ever seen. The appearance of the related topic pages and links as equally as boring. There are no
