That's definitely a great topic to write a post about, and I do plan on expanding upon various aspects of this post. I just wanted to lay out my design philosophy in a very straightforward way for easy absorption, as my audience is web design clients in addition to web designers. Like many aspects of design, eye control is something I think about nearly constantly. It's also something talked about fairly regularly on web usability sites. I have gotten the most interesting information from reading <a href="http://www.useit.com/eyetracking/" title="Jakob Neilsen - Eyetracking Research" rel="nofollow">Jakob Nielsen's ideas and views on the subject</a>. That reminds me... I need to add his site to my "Favorite Web Dev Sites" link list. Paul, thank you very much for the idea.
