Blether, New Government Blog

I found Dan Champion's new blog, Blether. He's a local government web manager for Clackmannanshire, Scotland.

Today he writes about Clackmannanshire's website ClacksWeb, accessibility, and usability testing.

I wonder how much usability testing like he says in his post is done in general for websites. I think usability testing is a great thing to do. I read a great book about it called Don't Make Me Think.

What does blether mean?

He says:

Blether is a Scots word which can be used as a verb or a noun. The verb means to chat idly, to chew the fat, to pass the time of day (you get the idea), for example "we were just blethering", as my wife tells me after an hour on the telephone to her sister.

    Thanks for the plug Nick. I second that recommendation for Don’t Make Me Think, it’s a great book full of practical, useful advice.

    Keep up the good work.
