to those bitching, do you have any testing to back your assumptions or are you just saying "of course people read like that, I do"
i personally like the eye tracking studies and appreciate thier existence.
def something you could show a client trying to destroy your grid setup
find something good in life you complainers

------------------------------et voila! the accusation rests.
(evidence 32a that asserts that any html visibly loads left-right-top-bottom was considered too obvious to be presented to this court)

I believe that he is a cock, but I did find this research interesting.
I find it hard to believe that you knew before this that when it comes to web pages that people read in an "F" pattern.
For me, what it did was confirm thapeople, when reading online, tend to read more in-depth in the first couple of paragraphs and then scan the rest of the document. Something I've always assumed but never had any real proof of when trying to explain to a client why they shouldn't be so long-winded.
As for your comment about the designers ability to guide the eye using the different elements. True, but you'd be very surprised how many designers are really bad at doing that.

Nielsen (known around here as "oh that fucking guy") has the most draining website to read as the font is so big my eyes move accross the screen too fast...
You have to scroll down the page to read a paragraph.
its like
spot likes to run
run spot run
no design for you.

Thank GOD someone has said this. He IS a cock. Design should be design - eye candy, and frankly I'm not arsed about standards... not to the degree he says I should be anyway.
