10 things that shouldn't be on a web site

certain applications on web sites should not be web sites. I have just recently looked at webpagesthatsuck.com, a web site that rates the worst web sites in the past years, and I couldn't believe what I saw. So, from this site I have developed my own list: 10 things that shouldn't be on a web site.
  • different backgrounds for each page
  • over 10 links on one page
  • pages filled with nothing but the same image
  • unnecessary flashing images
  • having useless pages
  • having the page filled up with animated images
  • having navigation in an useless spot
  • having a div tag separated for different colors
  • useless information
  • an uncompleted page

another web site

Hey everybody,

I got another web site for you. I pretty much did the same thing as the other web site ,but I added a div tag to the code.

HTML's

Hey,
I've been working on HTML's here during the past week and its a lot easier now from when I started out a couple months back. Its so much easier that I have fun while I'm writing code. I know the basics when it comes to  putting the tags on to text to place it in the site in a certain way. I made all the images on the site except the first image on the first page. I learned how to put keywords into the site that way if  a search engine pulls up any of them keywords, then my site might get hit. I just finished a web site and got it uploaded onto the internet. I put links to other pages that I made and I also put links to the site I got my information from. I did most of this web site in Dream Weaver, but I started it in Text Edit. Dream Weaver helps out much more when codes being typed up. Text Edit is a good program to start a web site, but you would have to have the add-in tags used in a making of a site in your head down pat.
Some of the tags:

  • images tag(img sc)
  • meta tag(for keywords)
  • a tags(links)
  • link to attach CSS style sheet to the main page to change it
If you have links on your page and they don't work, then check the spelling or how the link is set up on the html source code. Also, if your basic "HTML", "Body", "p(paragraph)" or "Header" tags aren't closed up properly that can mess everything too. Whatever tag that was started with would be ended with that same tag, but there would be a / in it. If you want certain parts of your page to have one effect then another part a different one, then just add a style sheet. Style Sheet's are linked to and from all pages on the web site that is trying to be made. If its done correctly, then you can have a good looking page.
