• Your computer comes with numerous pre-installed fonts for a reason, try to use all of them on the same page; different sizes, too!
• The human eye is naturally attracted to movement, load as many animated gifs as you can onto your page.
• Red flashing text gets your attention, make your entire site red, flashing text so that people know what you have to say is very important.
• Thumbnails are overrated; just put the full 23MB image on the page and simply constraint the proportions. It’s much easier on you and it gives your visitors time to go get a drink while they wait for your page to load.
• Image hosting is expensive, so always try to just link your image source directly off someone else’s site.  It saves you money and makes the webmaster of that page super happy.
• Everyone needs to experience your taste in music; make sure to have blaring flash audio hit visitors the second they land on your site.
• Use your website as a mood-ring.  If you’re in a good mood, make the text light pink on a white background; if you’re in a bad mood, make the text dark gray against a black background.
