Top Ten Sucky things to do on your web site
1. Underline words that are not links, and any lists that look like menus but really are just lists with no links.
2. Making text this color with this background color.
3. Animated Gifs suck more than we can explain. So we give examples. Don’t forget to bookmark us 
4. Adding Hit Counters – What is your site, McDonalds?
5. Hidden midi-players or any stupid music that won’t turn off. Here’s and example at Abba Loves Us. Funny when I think of Abba, I think of Dancing Queen and Mama Mia, not Jesus. Am I missing something? Does Abba mean Jesus? Not joking here people, please explain this to me. Please take a chance and tell me!!!
6. Five minute long flash intros that only spell out the name of your business
7. Cutesy javascript that makes stars rainbows and fairy dust follow your mouse.
8. Pop-under advertisements.
9. Pictures of words instead of words and 10MB images that are squished to 100×100 pixels
10. God awful backgrounds that cause seizures, vomiting and blindness ~ or at least the desire to have those things. Like this one. Are you feeling bad yet? We borrowed the background from a site scaring you to love jesus or a panther would run out and make you watch this rainbow. FOREVER!!!
So thats all we have for you today. Did we miss any absolutely craptastic and horrible web design mistakes?

Another sucky thing to do to your site: Make it readjust my browser size. Please, do it, I beg of you, it’s awesome. All the cool kids are doing it. *oozing sarcasm*
Crappiest thing ever.
I love the reference to ABBA though… people are freaking nuts. At least the singers have a viable excuse (foreigners), but that site… wtf, seriously?
Thanks for the input. This post is rough. The background image hurts.
