Usability has to be approached holistically. >My question is, how do you teach good taste and common sense? : ) ObPlug: You take an online class from Kynn Bartlett in web accessibility and/or web management. :) Seriously, you teach it the same way you teach writing and art and any number of non-technical things. People do teach good taste and common sense all the time; most of us just come from a technical background (myself included) and would like very much the ability to lay things out in strong technical terms. But that's not the only approach that's needed! -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ Next Speaking Engagement -- SHARE at Anaheim http://www.kynn.com/+share Become AWARE of Web Accessibility! http://aware.hwg.org/
