This is an annotated and idiosyncratic exploration of Web design principles, using B1FF's Home Page as a springboard. Simple and to the point. The bottom of the Netscape Home Page has a shockingly cheesy misuse of horizontal rules. F ont R esizing initial capitals might be useful in paragraph headers, but is usually needlessly showy.
Headers are too large.
They take up so much space on the average screen that they usually work against quick comprehension. You should never need to use this phrase. Anchored links should appear naturally within a sentence. Don't use them. This may seem picayune, but a Web page has a much more static relationship to its audience than email or Usenet, and should be treated more like published work.
