I have a little bit of time for reading in work today.
I was going through the Information Architects Notebook when I came accross this post : ‘The 100% Easy-2-Read Standard‘.
It’s a must read for any web designer. These are simple rules to follow and can help your designs instantly. It should be common sense but examples of designers shooting themselves in the foot are just everywhere.

Excellent read, but now I want to go back and mess around with all the sites I’ve done. Feck.

@Niall
I know that feeling. I couldn’t even wait ’til I finished reading the article before I started ripping up the stylesheet for this site.
