    I like this website because it is a fun way to show how alignment is used poorly and how it can be used well. We have all read a comic and understand that the first one on this page is hard to read because of its alignment. So this site shows exactly how important alignment is, and how you can learn to use it correctly.
  •  
    Oh my this site is so awesome! I think it is really directed towards me; I have been feeling like my comic tutorial is very unorganized and not aligned. This site supplements just a short "comic-like" tutorial on alignment. I just really felt like it was a a little helpful and hopefully I have gotten good insight from it. It gave me a good idea how to organized and align my Glogster page little better
