What are you talking about? How can you not measure how a user appreciates
gaining a sense of the scope from a global nav?
This makes perfect sense.
What 'SCENT' are you talking about? I didn't know that online links had
a 'Scent'.
(Your 'minority' comment is a 'fail-safe' for your reputation.)
Another example? Hop on an airplane and go to some random airport you've
never been to, then get yourself to the baggage claim. If you're being
honest while you observe yourself doing this little exercise, you'll notice
that all you really care about are the signs that point you to the baggage
Hmm, my only further addition to this would be to say what *harm* does
it do to have both a well-thought out primary nav and a strong global
footer? It's a safety net after all and if it adds any sense of
'completeness' what's a few pixels at the bottom of the page?

I'm getting confused over the true purpose of a sitemap when displaying an
organisation of information. I think mine can work harder. I draw site
maps to show how the pages/entities are organised logically. i.e. about us,
work we do, and contact us are under the homepage. Bu this is telling me
