Using “strikeout” for visited links. [I don't even like underlined links]
Personally I cannot stand the plethora of little buttons that people use on their sites. [got too many myself, prob is some causes demand a button if you link]
Having far too many links. [guilty, easier than having to update all my browsers with new favorites, so moved most of them to a links page]
CSS shadows on text. [haven't tried that, might be cool]
Photoshopped shadows on graphics. [can look nice]
What the author is playing on iTunes right now.
Dashed borders.
“Comments (0) Trackbacks (0)” under every post. [WP has them combined, only one listed]
Mouseover effects. [can be cool]
People thinking they know better than the browser designer what cursor a particular HTML element should have.
Answers to the Friday Five. [lucky you, that meme has been discontinued]
Which _____ character are you? [sometimes silly stuff can be fun]
Links that change size on hover. [that even annoys me]
Weather pixies. [won't use cause it's too depressing to see how hot it is]
Squidfingers backgrounds. Cool the first time you see them, getting monotonous now. [what are squidfingers? these?]
Blue, white and gray. [black is cool]
Anything ending in “Pundit”
Anything containing “Rant”
Anything containing the word “musings”
Weblogs consisting of republished posts from other Weblogs, on an unreliable variety of subjects (so they’re not useful as aggregators), and nothing else [especially if they don't link back and give credit]
Weblogs with long posts, presented using light text on a dark background to make them harder to read [in the middle of the night, opening up the old iBook, dark background is easier on the eyes, not so blinding]
Weblogs using the royal “we”
Weblogs that open comments in new windows
Movable Type Weblogs with comments, since they all want to open their comments in the same window [hey, I like that feature, especially the drop down comments]
Weblogs with animated smiley graphics. [guilty as charged :smile:]
They forgot zonkboards. Oh, and anything beginning with “The”. No matter, variety is the spice of life. Do what you like, it’s your blog. It’d be boring if we all did the same thing.
