Top 10 Web Design Mistakes in 2006
Use It lists the top 10 web design mistakes for 2006 with a lot of good ones to boot! Notable pet peeves include poor search on sites (I’m guilty when I don’t use Google on a site), PDF files (ditch ’em everyone!), poor usability by not changing the color of visited links (guilty here), and force opening new browser windows (annoying).
If I can change, and you can change, we can all change… Hit the source link for the goods.
UPDATE: Added forgotten link. Whoops!

Reading that post left my jaw hanging. Those are things I do to be helpful and make the site look nice. I purposely make read/unread links the same color and make sure that every external link in any of my sites opens in a new tab or window. I had no idea that I was annoying. Thanks for the pointer.
Thanks for the quick update. This is great information. I’ll be sure to implement it.
I don’t mind pdfs as much if I am warned, but when I’m not warned …. oooh.
Hey Blake,
I’m trying to find the original article that you are quoting and I can’t…help a brother out.
thanks
