So, I'm Not Alone! I find it more than a little ironic that Nielsen's Top Ten Guidelines for Homepage Usability is actually painful for me to read. Why? First, the headlines are so visually overwhelming that it's difficult to focus my eyes on the body text. Second, the body text has no margins and thus there are so many words per line that it's difficult for my eyes to follow along the paragraphs. Usability and design don't have to be at cross purposes.

Gratification Delay For some reason I printed this interview with Jeffrey Zeldman and didn't read it at the time. I'm not certain who pointed to it or called my attention to it. I read it during lunch today and actually understood a lot of it. It is one of those pieces that reinvigorates my desire to learn web design. 4:58:27 PM     Comments[]
