Week #3 Readings

Considering "The Top Ten New Mistakes of Webdesign" was written in 1999, I wasn't really expecting the mistakes to be very new at all. Breaking or slowing down the back button? Can that be done anymore? I have never heard of such a thing, to be honest. Ooooohhh, unless it's referring to how certain websites disable the back button so that no matter how many times you click it, you keep returning to their site and can't go back to any pages you had visited before that. Aha! I now see that this is called immediate redirect. Can we say "ANNOYING"?!

this site may prove useful for my awesome/crappy website presentation.
