I recently noticed that a surprising number of people around me don't know that middle click opens links in a new tab.

Most of them use the right click drop down option.

I would like to take you up on your offer, but I'm incredibly nervous about applying to colleges because (despite taking honors classes) I screwed around 9-11th grades, and my GPA isn't 3.0 or higher.

I'm would also be interested in this email, if it's not too much trouble. My email is on my profile page.

(I'm in a similar situation) I've learned bits of PHP and Java in the past, but I wouldn't call it being a programmer.

Thanks to HN, I've decided to properly learn to program.

I'm buying a book on Python (http://amzn.to/bUMPCP), and I'm taking C++ in the upcoming semester.

This is going to get worse.

Walk into a high school classroom, write a sentence on the board, and ask the students to label the parts of speech.

Don't be too surprised when only two or three students even bother to raise their hands.

-there isn't enough contrast between #ddd and #fff

-Disable keyboard navigation while registering/logging in (I'm in Opera, so it could just be that)

Otherwise this is really great! I like the minimalism.

It's an interesting concept, though it's not without its potential abuses.

Homepage has quite a bit that should be reworked, but I think pedalpete covered anything I would've mentioned. Some Nielson might also be helpful: http://www.useit.com/homepageusability/guidelines.html

Random thoughts:

-You didn't close the anchor tag on the "Reputely's Whitepaper" link in the footer

-Contact, Feedback, and Partnership in footer all link to contact, which is redundant.

-FAQ and Documentation in footer don't actually link to anything

-"Take the tour" page could benefit from having a video, or some more screenshots.

-Footer is much bigger than it needs to be

-Tabbed navigation on left of Take The Tour page really doesn't seem to have a purpose.

-Sign up page could be the same style as the contact page.

-Pricing in navigation could be called Plans & Pricing, like the button on the homepage.

-Links to homepage and blog on contact page are unnecessary, that's what main navigation is for.

Hope that helps.

Why not just return the phone?

That's what people normally do when a device doesn't properly perform its primary function.

My least favorite is the client that goes: "Great! I think I'll ask around the office and see what people think" and comes back the next day with a list of design-by-committee horror.

Why not include the non-prefixed versions of these properties in the stylesheet?

It always bothers me when I see tutorials and such doing this.

I don't think I saw any part that indicated some sort of death, death of a site usually being when nobody uses it anymore or the site shuts down.

If the excess of penis is its "death", then I'm pretty sure that isn't something recent.

I'm not too sure how this would fare. People already have trust issues with Google, not sure how willing they would be to give Google (more) access to their lives.

Most people think it's just for blogging because Wordpress is mainly geared towards blogs (look at wordpress.org).

It's an amazing blogging platform and client-friendly CMS, but it's really not the best CMS for most other situations.

Also, I fail to see how an entire section on popularity proves its worth as a CMS.
