Poll: How do you decorate your headlines?

Decorative headlines are a great way to add visual interest to web pages. You can use CSS properties to decorate headline tags in your document. Many web developers are now using image replacement techniques to display headlines graphically while not losing accessibility and search engine juice. How do you decorate your headlines?

Validating Your HTML is Important

Do you check the spelling of your web content? Do you proofread for grammar errors? Do you check your site for broken links?

Many web designers do all these things regularly on their websites, but they never validate their HTML. This seems odd to me, because while poor grammar and spelling can turn off readers and bad links are also annoying and can cause SEO problems, bad HTML can break your entire page. And I would think that a page that is broken would be even less appealing to most readers than a page with an occasional typo or broken link. There are many reasons why validating your HTML is important, and while the error messages that HTML validators generate can be somewhat obscure at times, it is possible to interpret them so that you can fix your pages.

So, if you’re guilty of not validating your HTML regularly, reconsider this and take some time today to validate your HTML. Your site will thank you for it.

Securimage CAPTCHA
A CAPTCHA™ is a popular tool for protecting HTML forms from spammers. They work by displaying some type of question that would impossible for a computer to solve, but a person wouldn’t find difficult. The most common type of CAPTCHA is an image with text that has been warped or distorted in some way so that computers cannot read them, but humans can.

Poll: How big is too big for images on a web page?

Optimizing images seems less and less important these days as access speeds get higher and higher. And yet slow web pages is still one of the biggest complaints people have about the web. While I realize that all pages are different, what is your general guideline or rule-of thumb for the total size of images on one web page? WebSiteOptimization.com recommends all images should be less than 100K per page to keep the download fast. What do you think?
