I’m thrilled to see more debunking of “the fold” lately. This time, Jeff Atwood weighs in on the non-problem. The only thing I take exception to is the warning about lining up page elements along the fold, giving the impression that the page complete at that point - as if the fold is an actual pixel measurement and the same for everyone. I’d buy this argument for device-specific layouts (ie. iPhone), but within standard web browsers? Not so much.
