Subject: Interesting primer on web design.
Hi, kiddies...
I was hunting around for something and I came across a web page that
covers alot of usefull and common-sense information about web page
design, both from an approach and a mechanics standpoint.
OTOH, can anyone find the glaring spelling error. Be fast, I sent an
email to the page author, and no cheating with a spell checker.

My opinions are mine, and neither you nor my company can take credit for
them.
