Lots of thought goes into designing forms. From usability of the layout to the labels on the form fields, seems not two forms end up the same.</p>
<p>Now there&#8217;s some help. <a title="Web Form Design book by Luke Wroblewski" href="http://louisrosenfeld.com/home/bloug_archive/2008/05/new_rosenfeld_media_book_luke_1.html" target="_self">Web Form Design</a> by Luke Wroblewski is now available. The book was published by Rosenfeld Media. The book contains 244 pages (softcopy) of fill in the form goodness.</p>
<p>So, if you plan on designing lots of forms, and hey who doesn&#8217;t, then pick up this handy guide. Your users will thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of <a title="Patagonia products" href="http://patagonia.com" target="_self">Patagonia</a> products for some time now. I&#8217;ve learned that spending a little more in the beginning can save you time, money and frustration in the end when you&#8217;ve beaten the living hell out of a product and it keeps up. Bring in Patagonia products.</p>
<p>Over at <a title="The Cleanest Line: Your Feedback at Work" href="http://www.thecleanestline.com/2008/05/critical-mass-.html" target="_self">The Cleanest Line</a>, the Patagonia blog, they&#8217;ve posted an excellent article discussing how they handle product feedback on a product. It&#8217;s good to see that not only do they listen to users concerns, but they even take the time to write blog posts outlining the process and even show you the changes, based on feedback, incorporated into new versions of their products.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve recently been considering <a title="Critical Mass Bag by Patagonia" href="http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/product/product_focus.jsp?OPTION=PRODUCT_FOCUS_DISPLAY_HANDLER&amp;catcode=MAIN_SP_US.CLOTHING_GEAR.PACKS/TRAVEL_GEAR.SHOULDER_BAGS&amp;style_color=48277-558&amp;ws=" target="_self">the product</a> being discussed, so it&#8217;s nice to see all the feedback and improvements that have gone into making this product the best it can be.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s great to see articles and companies like this who aren&#8217;t afraid to step out there and share the process with the consumer and openly acknowledge customer feedback. Patagonia, keep up the good work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning I logged into <a title="Gmail" href="http://mail.google.com" target="_self">Gmail</a> as normal, but the &#8216;<em>New Features</em>&#8216; link caught my eye. Upon clicking, I was informed that Gmail has a new look on the <a title="iPhone by Apple" href="http://apple.com/iphone" target="_self">iPhone</a> browser and enhanced IMAP capabilities.</p>
<p>So first things first, checked my mail and then I fired up the new version by going to <a title="Gmail mobile" href="http://m.gmail.com" target="_self">http://m.gmail.com</a> to get the full Gmail experience. I must say, wow. It&#8217;s clean, crisp and user-friendly. </p>
<p>If you use an iPhone, hop on over and take a look. You&#8217;ll be pleased.</p>

<p><img src="/i/book.png" class="imgleft" width="124" height="154" title="Book: Communicating Design" alt="FPO image of a book" /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Communicating-Design-Developing-Documentation-Planning/dp/0321392353/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1209506372&#038;sr=1-1" title="Communicating Design by Dan Brown">Communicating Design</a> by Dan Brown arrived today with great anticipation. If you&#8217;re a practicing IA or just getting started, this goodie has some great material that you&#8217;ll find yourself referring back to time and time again. I&#8217;ve cracked it open several times today, just to show people the goodness.</p>
<p><img src="/i/book.png" class="imgright" width="124" height="154" title="Book: designing the obvious" alt="FPO image of a book" />Secondly, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Designing-Obvious-Common-Approach-Application/dp/032145345X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1209506326&#038;sr=8-1" title="designing the obvious by Robert Hoekman">designing the obvious</a> by Robert Hoekman Jr, was the other goodie packaged along side it. This book is a perfect example of the simple things that are often overlooked and allows us to recognize how quickly things become overcomplicated.</p>
<p>My advice, buy them both. Read them both. Pass them along to your coworkers and practice what they preach. The world will be a better place.</p>
