Re: FAQ Intranet site tips on visuals

Earlier I made this same recommendation on a different thread.  I repeat:

<snip>  have a look at "Web Site Usability:  A Designer's Guide."  It's put
out by User Interface
Engineering (www.uie.com).   They are one of the first companies (if not THE
first) to do actual Usability testing on web sites.  They have some
interesting findings.  (Standard Disclaimer:  I do not work for them.  I do
not get commissions from them.  I just appreciate their work.)
