In many towns, a porn shop is either closed as quick as possible or prevented from opening in the first place. Yet there exist in those same towns porn shops in the back of other businesses and stay in business indefinitely. Because they are discreet and they do not sell to minors. I have visited a lot of homepages in my first few weeks on the net. I am already tired of the excessive use of graphics, animated giffs, blinking giffs and text, and frames.
Graphics can be a very powerful addition to text to convey information.
But often all that is displayed is graphics without context. I have seen pages with so many blinking and animated objects, that I had to flee before the headache that was coming on. The one use of frames I have seen that I think is good, is a small window to the side with the links to the other pages in it. A subject near and dear to my heart, if only because it is a source of endless comic relief. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am fairly liberal.
