Secrets of the Ancient Past
Mysteries have always grabbed my attention from the start, therefore it has been a strong interest of mine for awhile now. The title fit perfectly in my opinion. Secrets of the world is very vague so in result the title should be just as vague! The introduction discussed the narrator's passion of seeking out these secrets and having endless questions about the way the world and its features were brought about. The layout and design of the page seems very broad; it is a picture of a foggy forest that has a black gradient to it, which I think is a good set up for such a vague mystery. The design of the page was easy to navigate around, the font was a great touch along with the pictures of the seen and unseen world.

Tales of the Forgotten Mermaids
I am familiar with stories of mermaids and have always enjoyed the fantasy of it all. I do not mean to demean mermaids, however, to me it is just like big foot-there is no valid evidence of their existence. The introduction introduced the ocean as the narrator (which I thought was creative) and then the three mermaids in the story. Other than the fact that the mermaids are 'forgotten' everything was covered in the introduction. The layout and design of the page was a little too simple but easy to absorb. The pictures helped make it more interesting rather than boring, but because of this page specifically, I realize how important the design of a page is when directing a story.

Spooky Irish Ghost Stories
Based on my previous comment(s) and post(s) before I definitely love and enjoy mysteries or anything with the genre of suspense and thrillers. I would like to believe that over half of our population can appreciate a good ole' ghost story. Who wouldn't?! We grew up listening to them and telling them ourselves. The correlation of the title and story is clear as day. In the introduction the narrator is known to be the family crest which I also found pretty creative. The crest is hung about the main staircase, so it says, which allows it to hear and see everything that goes on or has already happened in the house without anyone else knowing. I thought the physical layout was lacking and needed a little bit more pictures or a different colored background. I understand that for stories such as this one you would need to stick with darker colors to correlate with the darker story. Taking on the perspective as an audience member made me realize that when telling a scary story pictures make it more enjoyable and easily to visualize as it goes on.
