I ran into a very
interesting article where 10 techniques are given in order to improve Graphic User Interface Design.
Here are the 10 most important techniques you should use when designing an interface:
1. Padded block links
2. Typesetting buttons
3. Using contrast to manage focus
4. Using color to manage attention
5. White space indicates relationships
6. Letter spacing
7. Auto-focus on input
8. Custom input focus
9. Hover controls
10. Verbs in labels
Remember to always use what suits your project the best :)

The article is pretty good Susana. I wonder if some of those techniques will appear in the next set of improvements to the blog/forum? I know it would be extra nice to be able to swap with other members even if you have a complete collection.
