on printed paper, the comfort limit of characters for each line of text for is 80. the shorter the line, the easier the reading. this is why text is often broken up into columns. look at any book, magazine or newspaper. on a webpage, which consists of direct light instead of reflected light, the limit is 40 characters. that's 40 numbers letters, and spaces per line of text. no, i am not making ths up. | |

a paragragh that is aligned to the right or left is easier to read than centered text. a centered paragraph is irregular on both sides, left or right aligned text is ordered on one side, hence easier to read. hey, i'm just sharing what the pros have discovered. | |

we tend to scan webpages instead of reading them. using keywords in boldface works well with this habit. for tutorials and other edcational sites, important phrases can also be emphasised this way to grab attention.. | |

if you have a page full of text and you feel it looks bland, spruce it up by making the first letter of each paragraph larger. you can do this with your 'font size' tag. for the ultimate look, you can use an online text maker, such as Gifworks, and make a captial letter in your favorite font style, like those ol' ancient manuscripts. | |

DAMN IT! yes, cusssin' is a big part of every language in the world. if language is about expression, then nasty words are art! swearin' stirs and releases emotions, no doubt. for some, to curse is pretty strong, you can take the edge off by typing like ths sh!t. one or two words per page can do the job.

not being able to spell ain't nothing to be ashamed of, but you might not want the world's population to know. we all make speling mistaks, but you must know at least one person who fluent in english. many folks actually enjoy editing other people's stuff. find one, the web is crawlin' with 'em. |

THINGS TO AVOID
use italic or underline tags with extreme reserve. a page full of these accents looks very confusing, and has the opposite effect; instead of adding empahsis, it only the reduces the impact of text. the less you use these, the more they will add emphasis, dumbass.
avoid 'emoticons' and other stuff like LOL or EG for 'evil grin'. casual is best, but this is supposed to be your cool website. acronyms and ;¬) are for common emails, posts and chatrooms, silly rabbit.
poets use too many periods. philosophers use too many commas, but neurotics use too many exclaimation marks!!!!
