    Great "How Not To Design A Website" article

    • I thought that this article was pretty spot on, if a little harsh at times.

      I laughed when I read this one, how true:snippet from the article wrote:
      8. If your website does not work in Firefox, welcome to 2007 DUMBASS. Yes in most markets Firefox only commands at most a 10-15% market share, but for some sites it’s much higher (my other site Oomny.com has 80% Firefox users). Furthermore, if the morons you hired didn’t make your site and functionality compatible with Firefox they obviously have no idea what they’re doing, and aren’t up on their game. I have no idea why you would need a website, or functionality system that is so dependent on IE that it simply can’t work in Firefox, and frankly it doesn’t matter because there is no good reason. The lack of Firefox knowledge by a webmaster shows they aren’t of the Internet culture, and that’s a bad sign if you’re a business owner.

    • I had a church buddy who was the music minister and was friends with a 'Microsoft only' guy. The 'Microsoft only' guy had this guy's ear. The music minister built a website with Frontpage and it only worked in Microsoft browsers. The music minister said it worked for him. It looked terrible in FF, Opera, Safari - even the IE Mac version looked bad.

      My question is:

      What browser would Jesus surf with? Hmmm?

      DISCLAIMER: Any reference to Jesus is not to endorse or discount any particular religion, even if it's a forward thinking idea that the Transcendent, Eternal God of the universe may have injected Himself into the human DNA as one of us. Thank you.

      DISCLAIMER FOR THE DISCLAIMER: The previous disclaimer is in no way representative of Rocket Theme sentiments and does not constitute a discussion of religion on this forum - which would be in keeping with forum rules and policy - so please don't ask me what I mean. Thank you.

      DISCLAIMER FOR THE DISCLAIMER FOR THE DISCLAIMER: The above unwillingness to be dragged into a religious discussion on the RT forum does not constitute a crappy attitude but a desire to not get booted of this said forum.

      Whew!

      When your Jesus, who needs web browser, the internet will be in your head, just a thought and your mind if your browser :o

      Its the way forwards ;D


      I believe there is only one reason why people choose IE over FF - they do not know of FF existence. I was talking to loads of teachers at my college, all apart from 2 had heard of FF, im converting them ;D

      btw dave, nice hat :D


      When do you believe IE6 will eventually just go fourth and multiple!!! >:(
