Quick guide through some things to keep in mind around web usability. Worth a read, took a couple hours on a Friday afternoon.

As it promises, it's all "advanced common sense," it's organized very clearly, and it's very short.

Main takeaways:
- don't confuse the user
- users don't peruse websites, they glance at what seems interesting
- users are only trying to do a few things so those things should be easy
- without physical intuition we need to pay extra attention to avoid confusing users about 'where they are'

- usability testing jankily, early and often is important and easy
