Jakob Nielsen: design mistake #5

Jakob Nielsen has published his updated Weblog Usability: The Top Ten Design Mistakes. One that I recently have tried to fix (before Jakob published his article, honestly!) is #5: “Classic Hits are Buried”.

Highlight a few evergreens in your navigation system and link directly to them. For example, my own list of almost 300 Alertbox columns starts by saying, “Read these first: Usability 101 and Top Ten Mistakes of Web Design.”
Also, remember to link to your past pieces in newer postings. Don’t assume that readers have been with you from the beginning; give them background and context in case they want to read more about your ideas.

So what kind of links to your own posts could you make:

The first 2 are probably links you better indicate yourself, the last one could be based upon aggregated stats. Let’s say you want to make each list as an RSS feed, so you can display it on each blog page.

Any ideas on this?
