Hi Jeff,
I very much like the idea of the nifty-titles approach.
Cheers,
Gabe
Actually, I can see the usefulness of having things lead to help
sections. EG:
Post Title (?)
-----------------------------------
| |
-----------------------------------
Post Excerpt {?}
-----------------------------------
| |
-----------------------------------
The (?) being a link to the appropriate help page. This implementation
is very clear and quite obvious what's going to happen when you click.
However, even this excellent solution will quite quickly clutter the
page up with a lot of ugly little question mark links.
Perhaps something like "Nifty-titles.js" could be employed to create
tooltips for inline help. Something along those lines then - would allow
new users to get a quick "what's what" on the page by hovering elements,
but wouldn't clutter the page up for more advanced users.
Jeff
