[Sigia-l] seeking rules

[Heller, David]

Christina here are a few of mine:
1. Local Navigation should be on the left; Global Navigation should be on
the top
2. Links should be blue & underlined
3. Animated gifs are bad
4. Flash is bad
5. Nested tables are bad
6. Users won't wait for pages to download
7. Users won't horizontally scroll
8. Users max out their windows
9. Users use web sites differently from GUI applications
10. Keep it Simple

Ok, that's all I can come up w/. Ziya is right w/ the Jakob site ... He's
the man w/ the real list.

Hey all,

I'm seeking "rules of web design" that are absolute and erroneous in their
over-simplicity. Such as "users don't read" "users don't scroll" "Have only
seven links on a page" and so on.

Anyone have any of these (anecdotes not necessary, but always welcome for
entertainment value)

thanks!
