KurtLuther.com
The KurtLuther.com site is one of those websites that proves the often-claimed “less is more.” This site is all about delivering its content and it goes about in a super-simple way. Yet, it still shows an undeniable element of style, an elegance if you will. We found this site’s flaws and shortcomings, yet at the very same time, it impressed us.

Webcredible

And two more words: Thanks Thierry!

Accesskey Settings
No longer in use: Accesskeys are platform-specific navigational keyboard shortcuts. Need an example? If you’re using Windows, hold your Alt key and press the letter F. This should open the “File” menu on your browser. These keys can also be used on websites to aid site visitors, but due to the wide variety of user agents, UAs, or web browsing devices, platform conflicts are almost unavoidable. Thus, their real world use and value is highly questionable, and has been debated hotly at times. Offering them is a good thing to do, but implementing them can create usability problems.
