“Web logs, or ‘blogs’, arenít just for personal sites. Sites of all kinds can employ blogs to keep visitors informed and up to date. Learn what a blog can do for your site, and see the best tools for creating and maintaining them.” (Nick Finck) – courtesy of dirk knemeyer

“It happens again and again. You spend hours in design meetings debating a point, and then a single word from upper management squashes your decision. Or maybe your design debates just go on for weeks because of office politics. How can you streamline this process? By deriving your conclusions from research instead of just ‘experience’.” (Indy Young – Adaptive Path)

“What’s the single most important thing that could improve the Web? It’s not broadband. It’s better writing. The general quality of writing on the Web is poor. The way you write has a major impact on what people think of you. Avoid these common mistakes and you will achieve more with your website.” (Gerry McGovern)

“The most complicated challenge we face during the design process has nothing to do with design techniques, understanding media or incorporating industry-best practices. It is a question of communication.” (Dirk Knemeyer – Thread)

“One reason for its recent success is that The Netherlands is possibly the most intelligent market for design in the world. Sophisticated public and private sector clients know how to commission and manage design. And most cities and government agencies have procurement policies that enable projects to be awarded to the best design, not just to the cheapest proposal. (…) Connectivity between people and ideas is further hindered by the turf-protecting way professional organizations, and design businesses, are organized. The result is that many designers lack the expertise to tackle the complex and multi-dimensional social questions that confront us.” (John Thackara – In the Bubble) – courtesy of chad thornton
