Doing some research on what is hot and what is not, I was inspired to add a new section to the home page for this site: Usability in the News.
The section will have links to two leading stories or articles that are about web usability or design. Content will be semi-periodic, at least once a week.
Here are the top posts and pages viewed on Best Web Image for the month of April, 2010.
My personal favorite is, More Important Stuff on the Left. It’s a follow up of Jakob Nielson’s report on his findings. Continue reading »
First, may I say, getting subscribers is not easy. It takes work, regardless if you are managing a blog or not. If you are running a blog, a subscriber count could be the easiest thing to improve though.
When it comes to numbers for this site, I have three major goals that I try to accomplish. I try to get more unique visitors, I look for ways to keep them engaged longer (more pageviews per session), and I try to get more subscribers. I have the goals broken down in easy steps that I believe I can accomplish, and try to keep the three in sync.
So who is up for helping me run a contest? Who would like to be in a website building race? Racing to make my deadline yesterday, got me wondering how fast some of you are at coding. I would love to know how fast a page could be developed based on a Word Doc, something I was doing at the time I thought of the idea.

Something that I had been dealing with a lot lately is main content width, and reading content getting pushed off to the right which imposes horizontal scrolling on the reader. Here is a recent post I wrote about it: Watch that Image Size. Another item I was hoping to get some comments on was my post Your Intranet Guideline. Continue reading »
I’m sure many of you have heard of testing a page or layout using two or more different styles. You can mix up the words, layout, anything. It’s commonly referred to as split testing. Many times though, the changes we make to our sites are not done is this fashion. We change the logo, or we change the wording to our tag line. There are all sorts of little things that we do that just don’t get the fair split test. Unless of course, you test your journal. Continue reading »
Here are the top posts and pages viewed on Best Web Image for the month of February, 2010. My personal favorite is: Reasons Why Validating HTML is Important to You. It’s a three part post that really drives the point on why you should validate your HTML. Continue reading »
A short while back I started a poll asking if you prefer blogs with just one author or more than one. Though I didn’t get a lot of votes, the answer was pretty clear. One guy (me) is not enough.
So…this post is for those of you that like to build websites, and would like to share a few ideas of your own.

Two months ago I added the Tweetmeme button to my blog. Two weeks after that, I wrote about how it appeared to be doubling my Twitter Traffic. In that post I started out by saying that I may be jumping the gun on this subject. Apparently, I did. Continue reading »
