For those of you who were present during my form design presentation...I think it's noteworthy to mention that the new Happy Cog-a-fied <a href="http://booksamillion.com">http://booksamillion.com</a> does not allow you to access a form to create an account. Once you purchase an item, that data is used to create your account for you. While the argument can be made that it might be preferable to allow people access to an account pre- purchase, I think their solution is an elegant way of addressing the question "What information do I (the site) need right now and what can wait?" Also by combining two potential forms into one, It's a clever way of minimizing a users administrative time, and hopefully increasing their browsing/loyalty.<div><br></div><div>In conclusion, I love forms.<br><div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 31, 2008, at 12:31 PM, Ryan Brunsvold wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">And now two of the more interesting tidbits from Twitter:<div><br></div><div>Happy Cog's re-design of <a href="http://www.booksamillion.com">http://www.booksamillion.com</a></div><div><br></div><div>W3C response to Opera's Web Standards Curriculum: <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/2008/07/better_web_education.html">http://www.w3.org/QA/2008/07/better_web_education.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 30, 2008, at 3:56 PM, Jon Zuck wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">I like <br><b>Course Everything Will Break</b><br>also<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 12:05 PM, Joseph Whitaker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joseph.whitaker@dominionenterprises.com">joseph.whitaker@dominionenterprises.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Crack es whack -Brown<br> Crudely Executed Work Base<br> Course Everything Will Break<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Wsuug mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Wsuug@list.wsuug.org">Wsuug@list.wsuug.org</a><br> <a href="http://www.thelinuxlink.net/mailman/listinfo/wsuug" target="_blank">http://www.thelinuxlink.net/mailman/listinfo/wsuug</a><br> </blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jon <br><br><a href="http://rockom.net">http://rockom.net</a> <br><a href="http://www.frimmin.com">http://www.frimmin.com</a> <br><a href="http://www.wildwebweaving.com">http://www.wildwebweaving.com</a><br> <a href="http://esperantohr.wordpress.com/">http://esperantohr.wordpress.com/</a><br><br>"Just sit there right now.
