Affordances (or more correctly ‘perceived affordances’) are about making things look how you’d interact with them e.g. clickable or moveable. What you’re talking about is *learnable*.

It’s always good to be reminded about why we spend so long focusing on usability rather than ignoring usability for the sake of art.

Web masters are often so fond of creativity that just forget about the genius of simplicity. Thank you for reminding me about this simple, but the important things!

Jakob Nielsen books give good tips on web usability too.
