websiteergonomics

Hello fellow bandwagon surfers! maybe i'm a little late in the day in this game, I got my first computer 35 years ago (sinclair zx81 1k memory!) and wasn't a game person - programmed them - didn't play! I qualified as a graduate Applied psychologist in 1993 and then received a Scholarship to read Ergonomics and work designat the University of Birmingham in the UK. I've been doing other things for years, including being an ergonomics consultant - but given Im the chief carer now - through necessity - for an elderely family member - I am obliged to say at home a great deal - and thus - applying my skills as an "ergnomist" in the UK or an "human factors" specialist in the US to the designing of websites and possibly other online services - I think it kind of works. I get annoyed when people think ergonoics isChairs - for gods sake - that's what you learn in the first 10 mins of the Masters degree! it's not hard! there's so so so much more to it than that - and when people throw around the words "ergonomically designed" - like confetti - I know it for what it is - bull! So - my area is andalways was software usability - in which i can genuinely call myself an expert - as a website design guy - it's vry new to me - but I larned html about12 years ago- and I do programme the old compiled stuff also - but I am very rusty! I think I've said a lot - so I'll leave it there - i look forward to meeting some of you and picking up tips herein! Best wishes Mike of websiteergnomics.com (which I''ve not even finished yet!) - like i said - I am very new to the game
