Minor Project 31: Read & Blog- 10 Things From Don't Make Me Think

1. The most memorable lesson from the book is that "if it is short, it is more likely to be used".  Nobody wants to read extra information and waste time.
2. If something on your page is a link; make it look clickable!
3. People want to find information fast, and that's where scanning comes in.
4. I thought the usability test was very useful, and came in handy with my own websites.
5. The user loves to make mindless choices, so keep this in mind when designing
6. I'm glad he named all the important sections of a website (Site ID, Navigation, Simple Navigation, etc.)
7. Omit needless words!
8. Visual hierarchy is always important in a site, and if it's off kilter it can make a site look odd.

10. The simpler the better
