If your audience cannot distinguish the words on the screen, your work cannot help them. Remember that some readers in your audience are using older, slower equipment to access your work. You certainly may make your web sites exciting, but keep them easy to download. Your prospective employers and possibly customers may one day look at your work. Keep back-up copies and extra hard copies of all your work in case of loss, hard drive crashes, hungry pets, power outages, and other disasters.
Effort tends to improve the quality of writing in any paper.
Your papers and web pages will therefore reflect the merits of your paper and the quality of your writing. Last update, January 12, 2001.
