I came across this article the other day and it had me laughing because there are so many points in there that drive me crazy! So if you are in the web design business check this out for a grin and if you are an aspiring web designer then I suggest you take a look at what not to do :D

One not on there that drives me crazy is when people write an article but don't put a date on it. Why expect your users to play Russian Roulette with the possibility of old and outdated content?


Are there any more you can think of?

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the site that is posted on breaks about half of the rules?

I agree with about 90% of the site, but some of the things they posted are way to situational to be on the list if you ask me.

"33. Pop-ups that ask you if you *really* want to leave - Yes I did want to leave and NOW I never want to come back!"

makes me never want to go back to those sites, too.

"40. Websites that force you to use Internet Explorer"

I've seen this, why would they do this?

"50. Flash"

If I could find a way to create a decent looking/working audio player any other way, I don't think I would have flash on any site.
