The techies who write software are not usually stopped by a puzzling<br>
web page, so the authors of VLC are likely unaware that their page<br>
contains a minor puzzle. There is no "Download Here!" link on the<br>
VideoLan home page.<br>
<br>
After I studied the page for a while and concluded that there was no<br>
obvious way to get to the download page, I tried the next most obvious<br>
thing and clicked on the "VLC media player" tab. This took me to a<br>
page where I could select my OS and download binaries. Cool! Sometimes<br>
I have to resort to the third or fourth most obvious thing on a page<br>
in order to find what I want!<br>
<br>
Since not all potential VideoLan users think like programmers, perhaps<br>
someone could make navigation to the download page less puzzling? The<br>
artists, writers, and other assorted non-techies of the world will<br>
likely thank you.<br>
