If you are going to have a website....

If you're going to have a website...and put it out for the public...here are a few things you might consider keeping in mind:

1. Don't put up a site that is "under construction." Once someone goes to your site and sees that there is nothing there except an annoying annimated gif of a construction saw horse, they aren't going to come back...no matter how big your text is, or how polite you are "please come back soon." Just finish your darned site and put it up for the world!
   
2. If your site is "under construction" (see #1) DO NOT put the date that you updated it. That way, when I go to your site there is a small chance that I will come back. (I WON'T come back if your site states "site coming soon...updated July 9, 2004).
3. Don't use animated gifs. period. They are annoying.
4. Don't use an annimated gif as your background image...even more annoying than #3.
5. Make sure your site works on both Macs and PCs...and that it works in all browsers (not just internet explorer!)
6. Sound Sucks....especially when you aren't expecting it!
