Features I find intuitive:

-The box set up, with a customizable layout. You can choose what boxes you want to see, can minimize or get rid of ones you don’t and they are rearrangable. It is completely customizable to one’s needs. Equally important, it is clear to me that you are able to do this because of the box design. The boxes look like they are floating and are consistent with other websites and applications that use the floating box set up and let you customize arrangement.

-The text tools are mostly consistent with those in microsoft word or pages.

-The menu is consistent with an email interface. In fact the over all interface is a cross between gmail, google docs, and microsoft word, all applications that most people use (certainly that I use) and therefore the information gap was pretty small

Features I found confusing:

-The menu bar for the inbox box was a little confusing. What does it mean to “unfollow”? Why don’t they just use “delete” like an email? Why is there a button to read the wave when all you have to do is click on it to read it? Is this something different? Similarly, what does it mean to follow a wave; aren’t I already following it?

I really like the collage-y cut-out feel of this image. It's taken from the nickelodeon website and I'm going to try to make most of my images fit into this styl

a more kid-friendly door. I'm thinking of making the home page an giant image of a red door with Gilda and Sparkle peeking out that will link to different parts of the page.
