Hey Toby,
Nice site!
I wrote an entry on Learning jQuery about blurring links:

Hope that helps.

I really like the way it works too, and it falls back fine easily
with no JS.
Any way of tweaking the tween/animation/scroll so it eases in/out?
Here’s my newbie jQuery site > www.tobybrancher.net it’s the first
time I have used it and definitely needs some work (been reading up
on the href comments made here although nothing yet about clearing
the focus).
Nice1 again!

Absolutely true, Karl. The biggest problem with those new to the
Internet
(and, yes, there are such people still around) is the “jumping
around”… between
pages, from one part of the page to the other with anchors, etc. I
remember
the first time I used the Internet…my initial response was that it
was “very”
disconcerting...one click and instantly everything on the screen
was changed,
especially with an anchor.
It took awhile to get used to the freedom to move virtually
anywhere on the ‘Net
in an instant. The smooth scroll effect will make anchors usable
for me. Smooth
changes in page content or orientation help people know where they
are in relation
to where they’ve been.

Thanks Rick, all credit for the smooth scroll goes to Stefan Petre,
of course. I like using it over a regular in-page link because it
gives the user a sense of how they got there rather than a
disorienting sudden change. Glad you like the site Rick.
Joel.
I love this smooth scroll, too, and have used it on a few of my own
sites. (Thanks, Stefan!) It's one of those effects that is more
than just eye candy.
I'd love to hear Klaus's take on this, or any other usability guru
out there, but to me the smooth scroll seems much better than the
default "quick jump" because of the "disorienting sudden change"
that you mention.
