When I checked the site stats last month on my (old) work site I found a big surprise. That’s right, 1280×800 had overtaken 1024×768 as the most common resolution. And not just overtaken it, but surpassed it by over 6%.

In Jakob Nielsen’s AlertBox this week he talks about intro text. Specifically, “blah blah blah” intro text. You’ve probably seen it. That paragraph that rambles on about nothing. This happens all the time on web pages and it’s a particular indication of the lack of attention to good copy on the web. As Nielsen points out, users usually skip over this text and search for actionable items like bulleted lists, graphics, and links.
