Your quote on me is close but not quite on target. I speak up only because you use "pleasurable," which would be misleading.

Here's my maxim:

“To increase the credibility impact of a website, find what elements your target audience interprets most favorably and make those elements most prominent.”

So the word I use is "favorably," and by this I mean in terms of credibility (trustworthiness or expertise or both).

Thanks for blogging about this!

Thanks, BJ-- I shouldn't have put quotes around it, as I had scribbled rather quickly and the slide moved forward. Thanks for taking the time to correct!
