Good points to remeber for aspiring Web Designers

A great thing to remember:  While I was attending class over the weekend I learned some stuff :) I love Internet based training!!!!!! Anyway, the question was asked "why not use images for Nav buttons?" Sure they look nicer then text, alt text can render them effective for Search Engine Optimization (well, does not hurt them that much) but there are problems with them that professional web designers don't want and we should avoid this practice.
Problems with image based navigation:

1.Load time

2. New pages need an image to be designed that matches the existing buttons which increases down time when servicing pages.

3.Not suitable for dynamic websites, it is ineffective for small portable screens like cell phones and PDAs

4. Java code not standards compliant in HTML which affects SEO

Bad robots & Evil Spiders

Many doomsday thinkers will often blame the fall of humanity on advanced technology going rampant and rising above humanity to become our overlords. I wonder if they will allow us to have Hemp? If you think way back in the history of life on earth, It all started one sunny afternoon with the crash of a biologically filled asteroid as one theory predicts. The robots are intelligent pieces of software, created by humans and sent along the web. Also called Spiders, they "crawl" along the lines of code that link your website to the Internet and other websites. Most are good but a few can do damage. They all have the chance to evolve into the future imagined. Defend your site and visiting designer's sites from the bad ones. Thank you for reading, enjoy the link!
