Hi this site of your blog was very helpful for me. But it was really hard to find it with google. Maybe you should improve it with seo plugins for wordpress like headspace2. Just a tip

Hey, Mike! Great topic– and might I say your writing style rocks. Either we had very similar developing habits/ aspirations as youngsters, or your imagery is very convincing. Since I’m pretty sure it’s the former, I’d also like to concur with your position. When I am commissioned for designs, I find myself arguing against the client about usability vs features. It’s all well and good if you’ve created something really cool, but it’s another thing entirely if your visitors can’t use it or don’t care to revisit for another attempt. Thanks for the insightful post.

I agree with what you say. We must however create simple user interfaces rather than interfaces that only Phd graduates can navigate.

Most people struggle with technology because many applications are too difficult to use unless the user has acquired prior experience. Online applications can and should be simple and intuative to be used by someone who posesses only modest prior experience with similar applications.

Those of us who have been involved in technology for a while and who find applications relatively easy to understand and use, need to be mindful of individuals who have not had our levels of experience and do not have the same interest in exploring complicated applications to learn how they work.

Check out the online application available at http://www.westcoast.com.au/editor. This app is well on the way to being as powerful as many similar offline page applications. Certainly, not all features are yet available, however there are enough available to meet the requirements of most potential users, and it is only a matter of time before more features are available within the app.

Currently the application only runs within Firefox, although a version that runs within the majority of browsers (with the possible exception of IE) is on the way.

document.head is, afaik, supported in no browsers so far, so better use getElementsByTagName(’head’)[0]
