I'm a software engineer/user experience expert from Brookfield, WI. I have my own software consulting company, Nexus Technologies, focusing on .Net and iPhone applications and user-centered design. I have worked on websites and systems for several large companies, including Reader's Digest Association and The Home Depot.

comment Not understanding responsive template for email
@Ryan - I don't really think that's necessary. "How to code" is, by definition, not a user experience question. This is a user experience site, not a UI site.

comment Why shouldn't we use words such as 'here' and 'this' in textlinks?
@Steven Your last sentence about JohnGB's example of a good vs. bad link completely contradicts the rest of your argument.

comment Right-Click menu awareness on Web Application
@user1757436 - How does that contradict my point that the browser's built in context menu isn't really valuable?

comment Right-Click menu awareness on Web Application
@KoenLageveen "cornerstones of many people's daily interaction with their computer"? Sorry, but you're wrong. I have hardly seen anyone that isn't a "power user" use anything beyond copy and paste that is available in the browser context menu. And they aren't using the context menu for those either actually - they are using the keyboard shortcuts.

comment Save icon, is the floppy disk icon dead?
3.5" floppies were still floppy. It referred to the disk, inside the plastic casing, not the casing itself.

comment ZIP input or ZIP+4
@BennySkogberg - Sure, it can be accessed from everywhere, but there are plenty of websites (especially ecommerce sites) that are US only (or Sweden only, or Europe only, or anything like that). Lots of small companies want to sell online but don't want to deal with international shipping. Sorry, but it's true.

@Brian - That's fine, but there's no reason you can't allow people to enter it if they know it.

usps.com/zip4 - Doesn't look broken to me. And I just searched for "find zip + 4" in google and it came up as the first result.

comment Breadcrumbs: ok to place at the top of a page?
@cyn - and your reasoning (in your comment) definitely leads to the downvote here.

comment Breadcrumbs: ok to place at the top of a page?
@cyn - Breadcrumbs do not show the path you took to reach there. They show the path in the site navigational structure, which is most of the time completely different.
