Evan Samuels- Blog post #2: www.bobdylan.com

The site I chose was actually the site that I used for assignment #1, which was www.bobdylan.com. This site site is mainly used for explore all of Bob Dylan's music and there are a bunch of ways to do it too- there are only a few periphery activities that don't directly focus on Bob Dylan and his music. You can easily explore Bob's music using the clearly labeled tabs the top of the site. You can search by album, by song, and view the lyrics to his songs.. Also, there are many options to listen to individual clips of songs, buy individual songs, as well as buy whole CDs. You can also use the tabs to explore other information related to Bob's music, like searching for tour information and news headlines. There are also feature to view picture and video content and to explore Bob Dylan's followers and their comments, but these are minor features

From the design point of view, the site is really simple and easy to explore and find what you are looking for- the song information is clearly portrayed on each part of the site and there is no clutter from ads. If you make a mistake and want to get back to the previous make, it is easy to go back to where you were. The site also makes it easy for beginning users to become experts. It is easy to create an account to make playlists to play on the site, and to follow Bob Dylan on twitter and contribute comments. Even though the site is simple, there is a link in the upper right corner of the site that takes you to a random song on the site. This is a cool feature that creates some spontaneity.
