Today’s Tip:
Give the users a direction to go and they will go there. Too many options only leads to confusion and an increased likelihood they will click the safest option, the back button. As long as your pages are light and fast the user will have no issue clicking multiple times to get to the content they need. Plus the more refined you can get the user the more targeted the messaging you can display.

Re: validity of @@(“biglist”)@@, which I think is dreamweaver templating language, please see here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html
Section 4.1.3: Characters and case
“In CSS, identifiers (including element names, classes, and IDs in selectors) can contain only the characters [a-zA-Z0-9] and ISO 10646 (Unicode) characters U+00A1 and higher, plus the hyphen (-) and the underscore (_); they cannot start with a digit, or a hyphen followed by a digit. Identifiers can also contain escaped characters and any ISO 10646 character as a numeric code (see next item). For instance, the identifier “B&W?” may be written as “B\&W\?” or “B\26 W\3F”.”
As the “@” symbol is U+0040 (which is < U+00A1), I would venture that it would NOT validate.
Interesting review though. You raised some good points.
