Attack of the subheads. I don't think I share all of Jim Walsh's aversions to subheadings, but he makes some good points:
But, because Mr. or Ms. Hack-the-Art has nothing better to do, or has been issued a direct edict from the Corporate Subhead Division or the Let's Foster Skimmers Not Readers Team, what we get are subheads that simply repeat the most obvious language/theme from the upcoming paragraph or artificially created "section."
I couldn't agree more. Subheads are only slightly less annoying than articles where a third of the words are highlighted links, that will presumably take you to much better articles than the one you're reading.
