Left or Right
With the tweaks to the interface I made yesterday to accomodate The Marketplace, I realized that I made a fairly dramatic shift. For the first time since about 2001/2002, I have moved a major piece of site navigation from the right-hand part of the page to the left.

I feel kind of torn about that. I think I was one of the few sites of any size who stuck with a right-hand navigation for so long. Over the years, many sites have flirted with it, but for whatever reasons, they gave it up. I am sure Jakob had something to do with it, but I won't go linking to him.

I never did any surveys or research to see if it made the navigation easier or harder to use, I just liked it. I think it worked for me. Now, It's taking a little bit of time to get used to. I'm finding myself going right instead of left. I'm sure that's just residue of an ingrained practice. Heck, I use this site nearly every day for almost 7 years now, I'm pretty set in my ways.

Anyways, if you have any feelings on this issue, I'd love to hear it. Email me.
