Erm, my formal training in the subject is exactly... zero.  If I read like
any kind of expert, it's because I write well.  *grin*

For me to do justice to the subject would probably require several days of
research that I don't have; I'm positively swamped right now.  :-(

I've not had the time to check out the links that Don passed along, but I
imagine they'd be a great start.

While the following focusses more on the technical aspects (as opposed to
the practical, CHI, or aesthetic ones), there are sure to be a few gems:

Related suggestion for thesite subscribers:  perhaps it'd be a good idea
to put more detail into the taxonomy of the site, so that the archive of
articles could be effectively browsed by visitors searching for material
on a very narrow topic?
