why we need multi-column page layout? Why we do need sidebars? Often multi column layouts are used such that each column has a designated purpose. The left side bar might be for navigation, and everything to the right is content, for example. However there's a secondary reason to use multi-column layouts like this. And that's the simple fact that people can have a hard time following lines of text when they span the entire width of the page. They might accidentally skip a line as they're reading. |

Best practices for online help @jrullmann - I just used jQuery and some CSS. With the help of jQuery wiring up the events, it was just a matter of associating the hidden help divs embedded in the page to the appropriate textboxes. Then the div fades in whenever the textbox gains focus. The code at that point is so simple, that no additional tools were necessary. |

Why should we ask the password twice during registration? @ADOConnection - There's basically no chance of a user remembering a password that was randomly generated for them. This will become an annoyance for any returning user. In fact, since you say that you've already implemented this solution I'd be interested to know what percentage of users change their passwords after registering. |

So are there “standards” for UX? You know, every time you're asked that question you could say, "let me get back to you." Then you could write a blog post, sum up the problem and your solution, referencing your past work and the work or research of others. Then present them with your new article the following day. As a side benefit, you'd become a prolific blogger in no time. |

Should you use both the accelerometer and the touchscreen in a phone/tablet based game? @IanNi-Lewis - I clearly have not played enough games on my phone. The only one you listed that's available on my WP7 is Need For Speed. I just now tried it and it seemed easy enough to control. |
