If you are doing style for your project be prepared to see a lot of Jacob Nielsen's name being thrown around. If you want to argue with him be prepared to spend some time looking for people who are willing to do the same. It seems like he has brainwashed everyone into thinking that his way is the best way and if you don't use it you are "stupid, evil, and lazy." F*** him and his style guide if that's the way he wants to be. I'm not either of those things (except maybe a little of the last, but so aren't we all at some time). I now feel it's my personal mission to persuade my audience, no matter how small or varied, that his style is not the only one out there.
Now I feel the need to rant about spam on my blog. Until a couple weeks ago I was doing fine with keeping spam off my blog, but after I left for just a little while it's back. They're like cockroaches, as soon as you kill one another one takes its place. Literally seconds after I posted my last blog a reply was posted, before I even got to view my own blog. I may be forced to use the word recognition thing but I want to keep that as a last resort.

I don't want to subject readers of my blog to the word recognition thing either. I know that I find it very annoying to have to comply with that service in order to make comments ect. I really don't mind deleting the spam manually, but if there was more of it, I would surely get tired of dealing with it. For now though, I haven't had a major problem with spammers.
As far as Nielsen is concerned, I'm with you Rob. I think we need to keep things interesting and this means different. It wouldn't be cool if everyone had the same style haircut or clothing, that would be like nazism. So keep at it, you already have me convinced.
