AJ's notes

liu
1) printed and digital media have led to more browsing and scanning
2) many people prefer to read visually with pictures and diagrams than long prose
3) printing things off the internet is still in the norm

Nielsen
1) the average person reads only 20% of text on a page
2) the f pattern proves readers do not look over text throughly

jerz
1) linear authors do not need to worry about navigation
2) place navigation at top and bottom of page
3) group similar pages together

How do I know if my website sucks?
1) Our content is not broken down into logical categories.
2) We say "Welcome to..." on our home page.
3) Our site uses a splash page (unless it's a liquor, porn, gambling, adult, tobacco, or a multi-lingual / multinational site)
