Try not to use more than 15-20 words. With the site clearly described in the first 8-10.



  • I was looking up a pizza place for a friend when I saw this site in the Google results. Their meta information was great:

    <xmp>	&amp;lt;meta name="description" content="Try not to use more than 15-20 words. With the site clearly described in the first 8-10."&amp;gt;
    	&amp;lt;meta name="keywords" content="Comma-separated: keyword1, keyword2, etc. Do NOT force keywords. These words MUST have some density in the site content. Use 8-10."&amp;gt;
    </xmp>

    Bonus WTFs: The entire site is a wrapper around one image that has an image map. For this they need special IE style sheets, IE6 handling, and jQuery

    Er... FTFY?

  •  http://74.208.32.200/ie6warning/ie6.css is the killer.

    #ie6warning {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    z-index: 9999999999999999999999;
    background: #000;
    opacity: 0.5;
    -moz-opacity: 0.5;
    filter:alpha(opacity=50);
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    }
     
    And why they have icons for Firefox, Safari, etc in there "IE6Warning" CSS file is beyond me.  


  • Visiting using IE6 pops up this warning:

    Ironically, the "site" still works perfectly fine.

    Opera is entirely free of charge and ad-free since version 8.5. Premium support is still available.

    Yeah, I tried fixing it and failed. I didn't care enough to try again.

    Opera is only free if your time--and dignity--are worthless.

    Are those 16 color versions of the browser icon or brilliant oil paintings? (Please, tell me it's the latter.)

    They're in full color on the website, I only made them 16-color to make the screenshot smaller. Perhaps I should have used JPEG instead.

    I always use a HTML table of which each cell represents one pixel. I optimize columns of the same color with COLSPAN. I then use css styles to assign the correct colors.

    It compresses really well with gzip

    It's also easier to copy/paste it that way.
