Jordon - you must ensure that you do not simply copy and paste into your blog as this will void your coursework and final exam grade. As this post stands it is not acceptable.
ReplyDeletePlease make appropriate changes - i.e. take some of the points made in your research on Nielsen and rewrite using examples from the websites you've used for your research and perhaps stating how you intend to use/bend Neilsen's rules on usability in your own website design.
