The university of Minnessota and the University of Baltimore have both done usability studies on Drupal 6. The University of Baltimores study can be downloaded here (found it through Dries Buytaert's blog):

Nick Lewis has a few suggestion based on the above study:

One of Nick's suggestions is that more buttons be used. I do particularly like the suggestion as it leaves one less click for users who want to save the blog post instead of just publishing it Kudos/+1 to that idea:

While http://stevejbayer.com and http://stevebayer.net both have a google page rank of 4, I'm mothballing and pulling content from there over to http://stevejbayer.com since stevejbayer.com has a lot more visitors than stevebayer.net
Exercising my theming skills, I've transformed http://stevejbayer.com/resources into a replica of its stevebayer.net counterpart. That's right, I got the pushbutton theme to work on just one page of the site thanks to http://drupal.org/node/139766 while the remaining pages share a different theme. There was a bit of sidebar juggling involved as the theme in use right now (Barron) has the left sidebar as the default sidebar but displays it on the right. A bit of switching php calls and td (gasp a drupal core theme uses tables?)
