At the same time, I know how gratifying it can be to find a really cool web page in the midst of a bunch of crap. I think my web page is pretty cool, and so I hope I provide the service of entertaining and hopefully edifying a few of the people who come here. I hope you will enjoy it as well. First off, I think web pages should be nice to look at. This does not mean that the pages have to be shockwave enhanced and have lots of pretty colors.
Simplicity can be very attractive.
What is just offensive is pages with horrible background images that make the text hard to read and bad HTML design that leaves frames half seen and just plain bad color schemes. Secondly, I think pages ought to be relativelty small in size. That is, try not to exceed 100k per page including images and plug-ins. Not everyone has Ethernet connections. Avoid HTML editors.
