RE: [WSG] Brand logos with links to home

2007-03-18 Thread Rowan Smith
 I was wondering what the general consensus was on whether the main logo on
a site should always be a link back to the home page. Is this a general
'rule of thumb' or do many tend not to do this?

 We routinely link the logo to the home page, and we also include an
explicit home page link in the navigation menu.

For NZ government sites it's mandatory. I saw some research (can't remember
where but I can dig it up) that pointed to the number of users that either
hit the 'back-back-back' button or the Home link when they get lost, and
start again. As Paul  says a text link in the nav is good but the logo's
also such a nice big target to hit on with a mouse.

Linking an organisation's logo back to its home page can't do any harm,
anyway.

 IE6 will get buggy if you only use imports.


Are you referring to FOUC - or other bugginess or both? If there are  
other bugs can you enlighten me?

Re: [WSG] Teaching CSS

2007-03-18 Thread Jermayn Parker

I have just brought the 101 tricks and tips guide by SitePoint and have read
the sample chapters. I also got a free css cheat sheet which could be handy.
I have not yet read or looked at the other books mentioned.



A number of SitePoint books on CSS seem pretty good -  based upon their

sample-chapters download – but before I spend US$40 on one, has anyone here
used them?

Aye's or Nay's appreciated


Aye!

But also depends on client requests... I recently dealt with a client 
that did not want this.


Good question! :)
