On the spine of my book, it says Second Edition. Does it say that on yours? I think the blue cover used for the first edition of this book.

I ran back to my copy to read their thoughts on blog design but could find no mention of blogs. I bought mine at press time. I wonder if it has had updates since? (mine is blue, yours is red).

It's about design patterns. By their nature, they don't change that much. I REALLY recommend the book more than I initially did. I read much of it during my recent vacation and was utterly impressed by it. If I were to teach web design, it would be my textbook. Nope not really. It’s about design patterns.

However, Design of Sites is kind of an operational guide to Web site design. I think that even in the mock-up phase, you'll find the book useful as it will definitely solidify the direction you'll need to take in regards to UI and use cases. And when I can, I'm going to try to comment on your blog Chas about your mock-ups. Yeah, I’m a Jakob Nielsen fan as well. However, Design of Sites is kind of an operational guide to Web site design.

We\'re in crunch time with our nonprofit redesign(s), so good timing - thanks! My guide to date has largely been Jakob Nielsen, useit.com. I\'ve read a few of his books and man, though most are 6+ years old, I find them right on and ahead of the times. We\'re in the \'mock-up\' phase with a couple of sites, so I hope The Design of Sites arrives soon. Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered the book.
