I`m in total agreement with you on these points – there a lot of things you can do anyway why clutter your site with java and so on. Drop downs are ugly and a good clear self made index is better , this way you can link straight to any paragraph on your site.
Search bars will just hurt you unless you can direct all responses effectively , when some search bars you use on your site do not index it properly and send people to the wrong place or or to a pop up your customer needs to click his mouse again and that will lose you customers.
Make a Great Site map and index it`s better than a search bar.
Keep up these great posts and have a great day.

Oh ya:
3. Learn the differences between then and than. This (along with the #1 that I posted) makes you look like a complete fool online.

REPLY: Two words out of roughly 2200, I’d say that’s a pretty good average. You want to volunteer your editing skills?

Great post. I enjoyed it.

Here are some more:
1. Learn the differences between: here and hear; they’re, their, and there; and were, where, wear, and we’re. …And proof your posts for them before you publish them. (See in this post: “I can already here the grumbling coming from the print world”)
2. Don’t make people sign up just to post a comment. Have trouble with spam? Get a spam blocker – there are plenty out there.

Edit: Thanks. Maybe you need a nap?

… and still relevant to this day.

I vote you dust off the commandments, run ‘em through a spelling and grammar checker (noticed a few typographical errors which wouldn’t be appropriate for distribution to the masses), and start a campaign of e-mailing two-bit “design” firms who are still charging $50/hr+ to crank out worthless Flash-based eCommerce sites (or at least the suckers who paid for their “help”) the sad, ugly truth…
