I try to avoid the use of frames unless the page content screams out for it, and page layouts that result in horizontal scrolling. The purpose of the web site is to be an avenue for information, in-place information and links to other places on the internet, with an emphasis on information over entertainment or distraction. Interactivity is minimal. Some web sites overdo the interactivity, as if trying to be some sort of action-packed video arcade game. Javascript will not work with all browsers or earlier versions of browsers.
Complicated websites can cause browsers to crash.
My website does not place cookies on your hard disk drive. In places the links may be listed in somewhat a haphazard fashion. This is akin to dropping a box full of items. In the process of picking up items you might find some of interest - items that would otherwise not have been found. This is the Tao at work.
