There’s a really cool Firefox add-on I use called Ghostery which tells you which analytics programs (and more) people are using on their sites. It’s a great way to find new toys out there for your site which others are using. Not sure if you’ve heard of it or not.

@Alex: Oh, that’s funny. Content doesn’t matter…sheesh. It *all* matters and has to work together if the site’s going to be a success.

@Barbara: Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

@John H: Having an idea where you want people to go and how to get them there is important. I think there’s a program out there that will actually track the cursor on the page from each visitor to show you exactly where they’re going and what they’re clicking on. One thing that many designers/developers have found is the visitors rarely use the page in the way it was intended.

@Kim: Evolve or die. Hey, it happened to the dinosaurs, it could happen to us too. Now, if only someone would finally pull the plug on IE6…

@Judy: Sounds like you know exactly what needs to be done to get your site up to par. With page width, I’m not entirely sure how those new mini-screens are going to fit into all this. There are so many variables for size. We’ve got huge monster screens for some folks, average screens for other, mini-screens, mobile phones…and there’s no way we can accommodate every single one of them with a single standard. Unless we all start doing what people did for Flash and frames; start offering an alternate site to view. But that could get costly.

No easy answer there.

One question I have been grappling with though – the page width. I would like to make it wider, but what with all the tiny netbooks now flooding the market?
