I wish I had some web design skills so I could immediately take some SEO action, but I'll slowly get there! Cheers Cool article,

I'm sure it's going to be very useful to lots of artists online. I've just read this one day after I launched my new web site so after reading this I'm glad that I didn't do any of the things mentioned here. Phew! Great post!

I'm annoyed by pretty much everything on that list, though I am happy to say that I specifically avoided most of them in my recent redesign. This does cement for me the idea that I need to get some previous/next buttons going on my gallery, though. Boo. Haha, great read.

That is a long time ago that you were reading <em><a href="http;//www.zark.com" rel="nofollow">Argon Zark!</a></em> (here is the <a href="http://www.zark.com/headscape/headscape.html" rel="nofollow">Headscape Hesitator</a> parody of the old Netscape Navigator download page), and yes, the updates come slowly, it takes mea while to write, draw, color, and add the "extras", but I am still at it. Thanks for the mention of <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/" rel="nofollow">A List Apart</a>. You're right, it is a great resource. Thanks, Francois.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see that Argon still continues in his plight to unseat Nastysoft, although updates seem to travel veeerrryyy slowly over PTP... With regards the (somewhat dated) rants above, I have found Jeffrey Zeldman's "A List Apart" to be a very good design oriented source of thoughts and inspiration. ALA has also been around for a long time, so chances are this is not news to you. Keep up the good work, Francois. Hi Charley,
