Glad you mentioned Webmonkey, they seem to combine both
ideas, tho not neccessarily in the best way. Their sites
do require you to click thru several pages, with each
tutorial or article having maybe seven. But each of these
pages is actually pretty long for the web (compared to
other sites.) Is this the perfect choice for long
articles, dividing them up into "chapters"? they also
provide links on each page for a straight version for
printing, and that is really quite tedious for me to read
all through. Mostly because there are not the titles or
breaks to note what each section is about. So maybe they
could do it with subheads throught out the page. But which
way is better?

That is why we are here, right?
