			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proverbially speaking: slow and steady wins the race. We may also marry in haste and repent at leisure. But these timeless lessons are quickly forgotten, when we rush headlong into iT &#8211; desperate for our latest fix of technology.

Indeed some browsing experiences are so painful that it&#8217;s like searching, blindfold, for hay in a needle-stack. Problems such as poor layout, clumsy structure, confusing terminology and unhelpful help quickly encourage site visitors to look elsewhere for satisfaction. <img src='http://devilsguidetoit.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif' alt=':twisted:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
