Blizzard.com 404 Page is AWESOME

This is one of the best 404 Pages I've seen. I broke it indeed and thanks for the Grats! Well done Blizzard!

For those that don't know, a 404 Error is used when someone navigates to a URL on your site that doesn't exist. Handling it well can be the difference between someone leaving your site or continuing to browse.

The biggest myths behind creating websites, from UXMyths.com

Build your website based on evidence, not false beliefs!

UX Myths collects the most frequent user experience design misconceptions and explains why they don't hold true. And you don't have to take our word for it, we'll show you lots of researches and articles from design and usability gurus.

via uxmyths.com

This a great resource about the myths that run rampant in design houses and web developers alike. The evidence behind each of these myths is pretty overwhelming if you take the time to read it. I've even been spreading some of these myths myself. No more. The myths are worth giving it a quick skim, and if you have a moment, a deep dive read, because as you know Myth #1 - People read on the web.
