Having blogged for many years now, I find myself suddenly promoted to guru in the latest Design by Fire: Gurus v. Bloggers, Round 2

All I can say is: dang my front page breaks in his screenshot. Well, I stopped working widgetopia for the evening to fix up the embarrassing mistakes I've been meaning to get to on my personal site.
I guess I should stop doing things like mucking with drupal and building widgetopia and managing Boxes and Arrows and setting up a conference for IA and building a business and get my site spruced up. OR maybe I could ask Andrei for a "Design Eye" makeover.

To complain about inconsistent navigation on a site is to launch a canard, especially when one of the "bad examples" announces itself as being unchanged, by design. (yes i looked). Anyway, don't people arrive at their destination pages largely by means of Google or RSS these days?

Sign me up for more tales of more drupal adventures...

cheers

I would have "promoted" you much earlier, as soon as I found your blog I immediately linked it to my website
http://www.unitedscripters.com/list.html
sponsoring it as the most thoughtful blog on web design I ever saw:

---
The best blog on web design I ever saw. A wealth of thoughts.
WWW.ELEGANTHACK.COM

I think other persons need more time to spot a quality blog.
I need one minute hahaha :)

I don't know, maybe it's a "gift". If I read a book for a few hours, I assimilate the style.
Anyway once one gets used to read or see bad stuff, one spots good things easier. I think we'd suggest to designbyfire to attend more often low places :) this would make them more prompt to spot good things (in high and low places both) even at their earliest stages, and even at a glance.

George when you say "Anyway, don't people arrive at their destination pages largely by means of Google or RSS these days?" you're not honestly saying people should give up on good navigation are you?

this what I thought of when I heard launching a canard

You shouldn't take it personally. Usability people grew up by critizising other's work.

It's hard when you get what you give...

Oh, I don't and can't mind much. People often write to tell me what's wrong with the site.

I love the image of the fellow launching the bird. What a great log that would make!

well, in French canard is duck, so.....
