In participating in Pro Blogger's 31 Days to a Better Blog, one of the tasks was to read some articles he linked to having to do with improving your blog. One post in particular caught my attention and I wanted to highlight it here.
43 Web Design Mistakes You Should Avoid
A couple of these I would like to highlight:
5. Do not open new browser windows (I do this and need to fix it!)
12. Do not clutter your website with badges
19. Make sure users can search the whole website
32. Do not underline or color normal text
35. Make sure to use the ALT and TITLE attributes for images: apart from having SEO benefits the ALT and TITLE attributes for images will play an important role for blind users. (Trish is adding in this article about
how to add ALT and TITLE code to your images)
36. Do not use harsh colors
I'd love it if you checked out the whole list. It's a great list with lots of things that I hadn't thought of. What would you add to the list?
