Additions:
- Basic/Chunk-style hypertext- footnote markers, labels at end of a chunk (1).
- Collateral Hypertext- parallel text (1).
- Specific Hypertext- material written with specific purpose (1).
- Grand Hypertext- everything written about a topic
- Hypertext helps retain old information and written work; allows reader to explore work without leaving their original page.
- Thinkertoy- separate panels of text and links shown on them.
- Hierarchical format- storage then display then language
- Hypertext is non-sequential writing ; create a inter-connective structure instead.

Additions:
- Human-Computer interaction (1). Helps students stay motivated to want to learn if they are in control (13).
- Hypertext-enabled publishing network (2). This became popular in the 1990s when the World Wide Web became popular.
- Learning resource that is interactive (computers) (12).
- Hypermedia- presentations that respond to users actions (13).
- Discrete Hypertext- breaks sequence ; separate pieces of text separated with links. Arranged in relation to the subject presented (14).
- Hypergram- a branching picture (14).

The site refused to connect and said that I couldn't connect with it. I tried googling the site but it's temporarily unavailable and under maintenance.

Additions:
- Readers attention to the use of hypertext is important.
- Architecture and landscape affect the placement of hypertext.
-Rigid structure is mostly used but is costly.
- At the beginning of hypertext, creators would create navigation tools, but now they are drifting away from that. (They believe it's an illusion).
- There needs to be a little bit of disorientation in order for readers to make readers receptive of new ideas.
- Having regularity and irregularity helps maintain readers' attention.
-Hypertext can break up chunky texts and long articles.
-Hypertexts should have a clear title. Readers would be more likely to click on it and explore then.
- Hypertexts can use formal frames to show deliberate intent and avoiding a rigid structure.
- Hypertexts give readers more information than what they were originally looking for.
The seven lessons from "gardening":
1) Hypertext disorientation is from muddled writing/complexity of a subject. Keep it simple.
2) Rigid structure can distort a hypertext's voice if it's always pushing readers away from the key pages.
3) Shortest path isn't always the best.
4) Hypertexts should be interesting and exciting yet confined.
5) Irregularities in punctuation enhance the hypertext pathways.
6) Gateway structures should be clear. This helps assure readers they are at the right spot.
7) Rigid structure= large hypertext seems smaller. Complex structure= small hypertext seem larger.
When I was reading this I didn't think there was great navigation hints because I never knew if I was clicking on a hypertext link that I already clicked on or not until I got to the page. Though, I did like at the conclusion hypertext page that it showed me all of the pages within the site so that I could see if I read all of it.
