The Daily Llama

How NOT to code was a popular post, so I’ve decided to make another one. Unfortunately, both of the hard drives on my computer erased themselves without warning so I have been delayed. I am thankful, however, that most of the files that were on my computer are also stored somewhere else.

A few tips before I start:

• Never use one of those page editors to make a website. I have never seen one that is XHTML compliant.

Let’s look at a site that I pointed to in an earlier post.  This is an example of what I think of as a badly coded site.  There isn’t any inappropriate content for humans, just for computers.  There’s nothing in there that’s malicious, but there are plenty of mistakes with the code behind the site.

Go to www.topmuseum.org  and wait a few moments (the front page is extremely long), and I’ll tell you just what’s wrong with it and how you can avoid the mistakes.
