n00bie to everythin'

1. AlTERnAtInG lETtErS. it reduces readability and really really is annoying.
2. SMS speak, like : aq udh mkn td. skrg aq udh kenyang. lo bs bc ini ga? klo bs, hebat bgt. You don't want your readers think that you can not write a proper words in English or Indonesia.
3. Frames. Be careful in using frames in blog. Things that scroll usually irritate readers.
4. Too-small fonts or instead, too-large fonts. Think this way, not everyone love reading tiny letters, especially readers with glasses, heh.
5. Too many colors in letters. Okay, you can emphasis one or more sentences, but it's safe to use one or two colors like red or blue. beyond that, you just bleed my eyes.
6. Bright Background. Please, do please, avoid bright colors like pink or yellow for the background. The intensity can make readers' eyes bleed. And also, avoid using high contrast for blog, like white letter on black background.
7. Banners and hotlinking. This can be irritating if you hotlink tons of banners in your blog. Remember, the most important thing is your blog content, not banners. I know that you want to give credits, but beyond that, avoid hotlinking banners to your side. Keep it as clean as possible. Oh, and that includes background image.
8. 1337 sp34k is annoying. it doesn't do anything but make you look retarded.
9. Blinking text. Avoid blinking text. it doesn't do anything useful, and it's blinking for godsake!.
