The Rules
| 10. Don't make your text spacing too far apart. (Endless scrolling... AHHHH!!!) |
| 9. Don't use needless Java applets, etc... (Why should your visitors wait forever for something that may crash their system?) |
| 8. Don't use easy editors after you've been at that URL for a few weeks. (You look either lazy and/or stupid and/or apathetic) |
| 7. Don't have poor spelling or grammar. (Same as easy editor deal; you look lazy/stupid/apathetic.) |
| 6. Don't misuse META tags. (Do not convince visitors to come to your site to see something that's not even there. People get very angry.) |
| 5. Try to avoid frames. (Same deal as Java applets. They take too long to load and crash some browsers.) |
| 4. Don't have broken images or links. (I HATE clicking on a link and going nowhere. Broken images are not very sightly to look at, either.) |
| 3. Don't rip off things that are copyrighted. (You may never get caught, but imagine if you spent forever making a graphic, and then someone steals it. It doesn't feel too good.) |
| 2. Don't make your page take too long to load. (This is one of the Golden Rules. Trust me, people do not want to wait twenty minutes for a picture of your poodle to load.) |
1. Don't make your page difficult to read. (The other Golden Rule. If your visitors can't read what's on your page, they won't. Remeber, crazy backgrouds are the enemy.) |
This, like everything else on the internet, is under construction.
