When I was doing my blog I found so many annoying, flashy, cheesy, completely pointless javascript and HTML effects. (And, okay, I admit, I used a couple of them! :-[ ) In web design less is definitely more. No flashing fonts and scrolling marquees for this boi!
I've also noticed that most 'free' webpages that come with 'build your own webpage' templates like with Mindspring or other ISPs are usually very yucky, homogenized affairs. Best to learn a little code and DIY. There's a lot of free HTML tutorials on the web that helped me with the very basic basics. I mean I thought HTML was the newest Boy Band! I thought CSS was that show about forensic scientists. I thought Flash was what I was doing on my cam!-- I thought, well, you get the idea.
So are you good with webpages and stuff like that, Jon?
