Websites Pet Peeve

It's a small thing -- TOO small a thing. Why is it that web designers insist on making the "logout" link on nearly every website so TINY and hard to find? We're supposed to log out of sites we have logged into, and you'd think they'd want us to follow through with that for our own security, but they sure make it harder. It should be easy to find a logout button or link. Not only easy, OBVIOUS. Logging IN isn't hidden in miniscule text. Logging IN gets nice text boxes, prominence.

Plain old logic and business sense teaches us that if you want people to do something, make it easy for them. So, web designers, make logging out EASY.
