Standardistas have theirs. Semantidistas have theirs. Web Professionals have theirs. Some are profound. Some are commonsense. And, some innocuous. They’re small. They’re large. They’re pesky. They’re selfperpetuating.
Those bêtes noires against fundamental errors.
Everyone’s got one.
They are those things that reduce one to an evangelistic role of education which results in the necessity of posting articles, sending messages and alerting those that have made fundamental errors.
Fix Copyright Dates!
Copyright dates may seem small but they indicate two fundamental elements of a site: perceived value and attention to detail. Copyright dates was the first “Elementary Service Announcement” we did over at The Elementary Group; it’s that “Elementary Service Announcement” on the first page of this site. Copyright date errors are easily remedied: insert Java Script; or, insert PHP; or, insert DOM Scripting; or, insert a Module Include in the template; or, a server-side include.
That’s my bête noire.
And, yours?
