Again..beauty of HTML..doesn’t always work according human logic. So mystery of placing banner into right position is to go in the code and swap logo image with banner image, so banner comes first in the code..and that’s all what needs to be done.

 I also, as I read Jed’s comment, had problem to apply #header .banner  style, the part with floating right, it’s just not right..

I looked at the line what supossed to ” clear both” images in the header, but everything looks logic, I couldn’t understand where is the problem, even if I did banner class separately, without #header, or with #container, the result was the same..

I didn’t believe that people wouldn’t scroll after so many years of using internet and “need of scroll”. Gladly, research proved it wrong.

Fold problem..at the end, we shouldn’t worry about it, but why would we? When the best scenario we can get after searching for the fold placement, is that we get it right for 10% of visitors..I think it’s really just fine to leave visual cues to lead user to scroll down the page. And I like little advice about putting something(as reward/to guide them to next content) at the end of the scrolling page - like “go to next page” link, so users don’t have to scroll up.

This article is good reference, and I learnt new things, about submitting key pages to search engine, about using relevant links and being linked by others, about positioning keywords, that to have proper words in the title is great, but also it’s useful to have heading containing same words and repeat them in the paragraph too. And off course, page content needs to be relevant to the topic(keywords). Interesting is how search engines see web pages made by tables - if two column table, left one is read first (usually nav bar) and then main content..Maybe this is one of the reason why some designers decide to put their nav bars on the right side.

Deep explanation about what content(product created to be used, experienced by consumers) should really contain. Information design, Interaction design and Sensorial design. Following this concept while developing future product should create better experience, otherwise the presentation will be incomplete or unbalanced when preffering one factor, for example, just an offer of plain information without building some sense-interactions (sensorial design).

I like the part about the continuum of understanding, from data, through information and knowledge to wisdom - “the meta-knowledge”.

Also organizing things according different elements, what we basically use on daily basis and sometimes don’t even realize how easy we can find, search, etc..how great it is that this organizing was done for us! This is good advice to have in the mind when we are developing something later on.

Then the interaction - important part of design, because using an interactive product will help to have better experience and naturally easier to remember.

 My comments.. I’m in a process of creating some kind of “rambling” leaves to “crawl” from the logo, but I’m not sure how this will turn out.

In the Gallery page there are just 3 albums, but eventually we will add more and to fit them - cover pictures on those albums will need to be smaller..

I was also thinking about putting the frame around enlarged picture inside of particular gallery..but it didn’t look good (for now)..

This advice article is huge! And I believe it was targeted to people who are doing web design/programming on daily bases.. I found it very overwhelming for now, when I just started “to dive into web science”. There is a lot of information what I can use when I actually know what I’m doing, working with or testing all those browsers, that I never had to try before. So I will definitely “dive into this article” later on. Also thinking about dissability brings little bit of complication when websites are created so they can serve all the people. For example, using default look for links, what many of the designers don’t like, will stay as must. It is good if everything has its own title: pages, as well as links and acronyms; summary for tables and adding text equivalents not just for images as we already know but also for image maps - users will benefit if web creator thought about them and did all of this. Author also underlined using relative font sizes and real headers. Making everything searchable - I hope we’ll learn more about this in the class.
