>From my friend, Bob Pyke:
I now present to you, the top ten Web Developer New
Year's Resolutions:
10.
I resolve to write using the HTML code understood by
the most browser versions. This will go a long way to
eliminating errors and strange looking pages.
9.
I will stop putting "under construction" messages on my
pages. I especially will stop putting that yellow
diamond-shaped animated image of the little guy digging
on my pages.
8.
I will use my real name. We all know no mother would
allow her child to be named "The HTML God" or "Da
Bomb."
7.
I will use alert boxes sparingly. In addition, when I
use them I will make a point of making all return links
to that page go to a duplicate page that doesn't have
that darn alert box.
6.
I will stop ending my e-mail letters with "C-ya" or
"l8r."
5.
I will understand that Geocities gave me a site for
free and thus I will have no choice but to deal with
that brand thing in the lower right hand corner.
4.
I will understand that background music is a privilege
and not a right. Plus, I will resist the overwhelming
want to use Prince's song "1999" at all this year.
3.
I will resolve to be honest and not set my new counter
to start counting at 1,345,843 visitors. I will also
not bump that number up now and again.
2.
I will stop throwing around the term "Y2K" like it's
part of my common vernacular.
1.
I will understand that content is king. No amount of
fancy coding will help a page that has nothing of any
substance to offer.
That's for 1998...3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!
