Web Page Tips

         Aiya! Who is this Miss Web Page Expert who thinks she's so hot she can lecture me on the "dos and don'ts" of the internet? Well, I think after seeing a billion web pages making the same mistakes so many times it's not even funny, I figure I could save some people the humiliation. So listen up, some of this advice might come in handy...

 The Most Common Errors On Web Pages With The Highest Potentials 

*Dear god! Wonderful images with breath-taking graphics! The problem? Image resolution. You know when the image is all pixilated, fuzzy, blurry, and just plain UGLY. The solution? Stop converting .bmp to .jpg! Save it as .jpg or .gif in the first place, instead of saving an image as .bmp and converting it. And don't save it as some funky thing like .tiff, ok? 

*Ok, picture this. You surf on in to this wonderful, mega huge, billion hits Pokemon web page that really catches your eye. So the text is just fine, but the links?? You can hardly see them! Highlighting them won't work like with text, so you try the next best thing. You know all the best Pokemon sites have mouseover effects on their links, so you hold your mouse over the link. It either gets slightly better, or much better. But we all know that it has a trillion links to choose from, so am I suppose to hold my mouse over each and everyone of them to find out where I want to go? Nooo thank you. 

*Is there some kind of fad going around that people want to do all sorts of java to make their links look *exactly* like their text? You won't believe how many links your visitors will skip, so just do go through all that hassle in the first place!

*Sections are so confusing! I mean how am I suppose to know that "screen captures" are under "episode guide"? Look, I know that people have an obsession with shifting the stuff around the page sections to make things less mind boggling, but quite frankly it ain't working!   
 

*Why is it that web page owners never answer their e-mails? I mean sometimes they will answer it if you are lucky, but then they just think "screw that" and completely ignore your replies. Ahhhhh!

*What is with those sections of the page that are worthless and completely pointless? It causes the surfer's patience to drop, along with attention span. And worst of all, they skip all the important stuff and waste time, space, and money (domains, go figure) just to put up this lame section that no one goes to anyway. Geeze.. 

*Here's a tip: if you are going to redesign your site, MAKE IT GOOD! I mean why shut down most of the sections of your page just to make a layout that isn't good in the first place? And especially watch out for some of the downsides I've mentioned above, they are unusually common. 

That's all *for now*! For more examples of what the heck I'm talking about, visit one of those popular top ten Pokemon sites that are in the "Pokemon Village" list or something like that.
