Week 7 #3
Okay, so I'm looking through Cassandra Clare's Tumblr, and not really understanding anything at all. This leads me to believe that this site is indeed intended for and used by younger (than me) people. Judging from the spirited responses in the included blogs, it's probably pretty successful. Attractive layout, photo shots of darkly brooding adolescents in book and movie roles and lots of other features give this a lot of visual interest. MundieMoms fansite includes new releases, live author chats, book lists and more in a vibrant format. So, I can see followers of this author getting hooked.

Doris, I think the creators of these sites must have plenty of younger editors on staff. What better way to know the young adult crowd than to actually be a young adult (or twenty-something). I agree with you that the layout has to be somewhat "interactive"-such as book trailers/video clips/etc.
