I will tell you what I don’t miss, helping newbies with web design. For a long time I was a moderator at one of the biggest HTML Help forums online, it was aimed at kids even though a lot of adults used it also. I think I was there for about 5 years, and after a few years I started to get jaded.

I actually enjoyed helping people to learn, that’s why I registered to do it in the first place after all. But I couldn’t stand that no one seemed to want to do any thing for themselves, they’d ask questions that were already covered in the tutorials and often expected you to just do it for them. Ugh.

WebDesignForIdiots.net does what it says in the title, offers help for web design for idiots. The main page website tutorials cover tables, advertising and a useful list of web design “don’ts”, including not putting white text on a black background — this should be highlighted and made into a massive font size, I absolutely hate that, my eyes can’t read white on black for more than a few seconds, I would never use a site using it regularly because I physically can’t!

Overall the site is really helpful for newbies and even more experienced users alike
