Very good post – not only because I enjoyed it but also because it gave me food for thought. Your post just sparked an idea for a woodworking project I’ve been contemplating. Thank you so much.

Stumbled it!

Let me just say first of all great post!

Furthermore my favorite comment of the year belongs to you:

‘May all MySpace users who have music be sent to a special place in hell. Okay, maybe that’s a little harsh. MySpace users don’t really know any better, right?’

Keep up the great blog!

[...] I thought I was finished with this theme a little over a week ago, but while reading digg and reading articles on design, I landed on an old article that made me realize that I had a lot of flaws. If you haven’t read RA Project’s “Things to Avoid: What Makes Me Nervous When Reading Your Blog” then you might want to read and double-check (followup with DevLounge’s “15 Design Decisions That Annoy People“).

I absolutely detest having my window size changed when entering some websites.

The New York Times website has both pop-ups and obtrusive advertisements. Yuck!

As a Firefox user, I dislike links that force a new window; I prefer to open links either in the same window/tab or in a new tab in the same window (my choice). Also, I block pop-ups by default, so often the only thing I get is a warning message that a pop-up has been blocked. I then have to allow that site to open pop-ups. Note to web designers: Most of the time I simply close the warning message and the tab and don’t visit that website again. You have to have extremely compelling content (hint: however compelling you think it is, divide by a factor of 3) for me to allow you to control my browser.

Autoplay music would have to be my absolute number one turn off. I click out immediately and won’t give the blogger a second chance. Even if their quality is exceptional, I will never know cause autoplay music annoys me more than anything.

also, auto-starting music, aka myspace, is annoying because when i surf, i always have my itunes playing. it causes an annoying multi-layered, ugly sound.
