I agree with this. When I jump to a site for a download, the first thing I look for is the word 'Download'. Then I click it if it's a link. If it's a heading, I just keep reading. Then I usually look for something like 'Latest stable version'--and again, click it, or read beneath it. Then I look for my platform. Some sites I have to look for my platform before I look for the version.

Thanks for articulating your reading flow. It matches mine. Chris -- Email: christopher.jones@oracle.com Tel: +1 650 506 8630 Blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/ -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've made these changes and can now be viewed on prototype.php.net - docs.php.net is one commit behind and will be updated in ~1 hour from now. the commit it's behind is a typo + markup error. Cheers. Paul.

Hi Paul, That's looking a lot cleaner. For findability for the person scanning the front page, and for voice screen readers the section needs an overall big title. e.g the following text (a stylesheet change to increase the font size is also required).
