Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

A note on "Squinting hyperlinks"

Usability doesn't end when your blog's design is done. Every time you link a page to another page, you've got to remember the oldest set of usability rules known to humankind: grammar.

Here's the lead sentence from my post Monday:

As of Friday, the Apple iPhone 3G was available in stores. Apparently they received 300,000 pre-orders, which contributed to an estimated 1,000,000 total sales.

When I wrote that blog post, I revised that sentence several times. It occurred to me that there is an insidious problem with the ambiguity of link references, a problem at which I thought it might be instructive to take a look.
