Found a very funny song about web design while looking for good articles today. Perhaps it will give you a laugh too, since I found it so sadly familiar. Click here for 'Make the Logo Bigger' (warning, it autoplays).

When you're laying out a site, one of the most basic questions you can ask is "Do we make this liquid or fixed width?"

If there is one problem that plagues me across applications, its users that are too antsy to wait for the page to come back after hitting submit on a form. Even worse, some people just instinctually double and triple click. How do you keep these pesky users from duplicating records or charging themselves three times for that item in your e-shop?

Ok, so not the most serious post, but Ray Camden Twittered about this video, and I have to say that it has some amazing diagrams and charts in it. I can't help but think that Edward Tufte would like it.

Time again for another user experience rule, and this time I couldn't stop at just one. I've got four rules for you about forms; one of the most daunting aspects of UX design. You can save yourself some trouble with the following rules:
Rule 2: Ditch the Reset button.
Rule 3: Make your Cancel button look like a link, or make it visually washed out compared to your Submit button.
Rule 4: Make sure that there is at least a 2em distance between your Submit and your Cancel buttons.
Rule 5: Submit on the left, Cancel on the right.
