Great article, Steve! I like what I believe was Clayton Makepeace's method as a roadmap: Tell them what you are going to be "talking" about, talk about it, then recap what you talked about. If everything " talked about comes up in a subhead, but in a way to bring attention to it such as a sentence from that part that piques their interest, the reader will read on to learn what thats about. Then the recap brings it all together, they have reached their destination, hence the roadmap.

Words to live by Steve: When going for the gold, make sure you don't get goldfished! The write food fixes both attention and retention. Noe it's time for my NAP.
