I've just posted a revised version of my chapter on fixed-width web pages. There are lots of change bars, but only a few significant changes. Look for entire paragraphs with change bars. They're completely new. The URL is the same as it ever was: http://www.aristeia.com/TKP/webpages.pdf At one point during our discussions of web page readability and line length, somebody posted a URL for a site that wasn't fixed width (what I now call unlimited-width). I wish I'd saved that URL, but I didn't, and I can't find it by searching the archive. I'd like to add it to this new paragraph in the FWWP Keyholes chapter: One final observation about FWWP Keyholes and page readability: web usability sites rarely employ fixed-width pages. For example, Jakob Nielsen's site, Don Norman's site , Bruce Tognazzini's site, and the W3C site on user interface technologies all feature unlimited-width web pages. It is unlikely that this is an accident. if you know of other usability sites that fall into this category, please let me know. And of course please let me know of usability sites that contradict this. Thanks, Scott
