Here’s another website that really sucks. It’s completely unusable. Can you figure out what they sell? Or, like me, did you run away screaming first? Enter at your own risk: Crumpler USA.
(And unfortunately this site was designed by fellow Aussies, and their own site is pretty bad, too. I hate naming names, but these are classic examples of what NOT to do with your own website.
You may as well flush your business down the toilet…

To avoid looking like I’ve abandoned posting on Web Design Watchdog, I’m letting you know that I’m moving back interstate after being on the road for 6 months. I don’t know how long it will take me to find a new home and settle in, but it will definitely be less than a month and hopefully no more than two weeks.
Until the dust settles and I start posting again, please subscribe to this blog so that you’ll find out immediately when I’m back. You can also add me as a Facebook friend, and watch me on Twitter (see the sidebar).
I’m hoping I’ll have a chance to schedule some future-dated posts to keep things alive here.
Please leave comments on this post about questions you’d like me to answer or topics you’re interested in.

I’ve been working on my 404 error page - you know, the page you get when you click a broken link or type an address in wrong. Don’t you hate it when that happens?

So what does that have to do with space men and gorillas? Take a look and see. Let me know what you think.

Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has written a great post about batch processing his blogging-related tasks. Doing similar tasks in batches is a great time-saving (and sanity-saving) technique for most activities in life, not just blogging. Darren goes into detail about how he does it, and it’s well worth a read.

Great article about writing headlines, by Copyblogger (one of my favorite bloggers). My favorite line from the article is: “In fact, this headline makes me want to give up blogging and become a shepherd.” I’ve had that fleeting feeling.

When Google first created its beta (first draft) home page and set up a test to see how well it would work, there was a problem.
“[Our beta testers] would sit in front of the Google screen for 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, a minute…Google was perplexed.”
Interested in what the problem was and how easily it was fixed? Read the article:

More people are switching to a better web browser. Have you switched yet? As IE’s slice of the pie gets smaller, web designers and developers feel happier, because IE doesn’t follow the rules (standards) of proper web design.
“Internet Explorer continues losing its market share. This time it lost more than 1%, from 74.83% to 73.75% (1.08% decrease).” Read more at Internet Explorer Loses.
