Well, when you start your numbering at 1999.75 that exaplains a lot about
your "techical" expertise.

To all the fucktard idiots on AMOE

It not the critic who counts. Not the one who points out how the strong man
stumbled or how the doer of the deeds might have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is
marred by blood sweat and dust, who stives valiantly but errs and comes
short again and again because there is no human endeavor without
shortcoming; Who knows the great enthusiasms - the great devotions, and who,
if he wins, knows the triumphs of high achievement and who, if his efforts
are checkered by defeat, at least fails while daring greatly so that his
place shall never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory
nor defeat.



Teddy Roosevelt

"Have a concise mission statement for the site."

Oh please, I think you've attended one too many management seminars.
Mission statements are for idiots.

"Keep all banners and ads top quality."

How about no ads or banners...ever.

"Make your sourcecode freely available."

Like you have a choice.

"Have live help reachable 24/7."

Umm ok, I'll hire three people.

"Strongly encourage readers using Acrobat smoothing and CoolType."

To do what?

If you cannot clearly state to yourself in a few words what the site
goals are, neither will anyone else be able to.

"Keep all banners and ads top quality."

And the funding alternatives to banners are....?

"Make your sourcecode freely available."

Virtually NO website except ours makes their PDF document and other
resource sourcecode freely available. See our .PSL files for examples.

Also, Nobody receives your actual HTML source code if you are properly
using your server side .ASP files. All you see is what your sourcecode
decides to deliver to the viewer.

"Have live help reachable 24/7."

It only takes one. Or two at most.

"Strongly encourage readers using Acrobat smoothing and CoolType."

To do what?

Improve screen legibility and clarity FAR beyond the printed page.
See http://www.tinaja.com/glib/legible1.pdf

Nothing else comes remotely close.
Except possibly for http://www.tinaja.com/glib/bmfauto1.pdf

What would you add?


Keep backqround images (if you feel COMPELLED to use them) VERY dim
so that text can be read by old codgers.
Don, you could go a few clicks lighter on the contrast ratio IMO.

Isn't ASP a proprietary Microsoft technology? What if the person is using
Apache on BSD? Or is that a no-no, in your opinion?

I believe .asp is available from most ISP's these days.

..ASP or a server side equivalent is essential for includes, for banner
rotation, and for customized delivery.

Includes, of course, are essential "subroutines" that you can change at
one place at one time, rather than having to individually hand patch
dozeons if not hundreds of web pages with boilerplate and whatever.

Omitting this tool cripples your website.

Since you normally use only one ISP at a time, this is not nearly as
crucial an issue as making sure all your user's have full browser
capability.

Your site, Don, might well contain some useful info.
Unfortunatly, finding it would be akin to finding a pearl in a canyon full of
buffalo shit. Blindfolded. With heavy rubber gloves on. At night.
Helter skelter, non related crap uhh .... More links that you can shake a
stick at.
In short, if that web page was your desk, you would be buried alive, many
times over.
Organization is the key, and it is within your grasp.
