1) Thou Shalt Not ever, for any reason, use blue, underlined text for anything but a link.
I've seen this one a lot, lately. Makes the page look broken.

Subject: The Ten Commandments of HTML
If you were God (or rather, if you were Tim Berners-Lee), what would you set
down as "The Ten Commandments of HTML"?
Suggestions for one or two commandments are also welcome.
I want to include this in a sample "Webmaster's Guide" I'm just finishing
for an example for my SIGDOC '97 paper on single-source documentation.
I have already written my candidates, and I'll post them once I have your
unprompted suggestions.
I will replace a number of mine with your most often-mentioned suggestions.
