It gives a good overview of the topics that made me want to learn more about them. I think some links to resources for further information after each section would be very useful for someone using this article as a starting point.

#6>> Consider why newspapers are written in columns rather than across the entire page. Or why the text block on this site is only 600 pixels wide.
Why are multiple columns not preferred on the web as opposed to wasting half the screen space. I guess there may be issues with scrolling but those should be solvable.

I would assume your guess is right. You have infinite room to scroll on a browser where you don't on a newspaper.

#10I never appreciated design until I sat down with one of my graphic designer friends. He would spend hours on what I thought were simple things such as typography and placement of objects. Graphic design is under-appreciated and usually goes unnoticed unless it's bad enough to be noticeable.
