Do not include very large graphic images in your html documents. It's
preferable to have postage sized images that the user can click on to "enlarge"
a picture. Some users with access to the Web are viewing documents using
slow speed modems and downloading these images can take a great deal of
time.
It is important that you ask permission before you link to a site. A
simple email message requesting permission is appropriate.
When including video, voice files or large linked images, show file
sizes, i.e (10KB or 2MB), and approximate download times so the user will
know how long it takes to download the file.
Keep naming standards for URL's simple and not overly excessive with
changes in case. Some users do not realize that sites are case sensitive
or they receive URL's verbally where case sensitivity is not easily recognizable.
URL authors should include an email address at the bottom (or in the
address area) of all HTML documents. Because of the nature of html links,
a user can automatically link to your html document and have questions
about it, but will not know who to contact if the email address is not
available.
If at all possible, provide translations to your pages, or at least
a brief summary in some other common languages of what it is about, so
others can learn what they are missing--not everyone speaks English.
Basically stick to GeoCities Content Guidelines. No porn, no hate, or
other things that make you go 'uuugh'.
