People squish tons of information to the top of a page thinking that's where it needs to be. What we need to be concerned with is flow of information. Scanability. Removing visual blockers. Taking extra time to condense messaging. The old adage "if I had more time I would have written less" is 100% accurate online.

But I'm not a user experience designer. So long as it is not visually cluttered I would imagine this being okay. The UX experts would tell you to do your own testing ;-) If you do this, please share your findings with us! For anyone more interested in the subject, watch out for Luke Wroblewski's new book coming soon: <a href="http://www.rosenfeldmedia.com/books/webforms/" rel="nofollow">Web Form Design Best Practices</a> Hi Baronm,
