I find it unnerving that people still seem to glean some kind of personal kudos from the masses by writing blog entries which talk about things "not" to do. Such as. "Dont use hidden links - so dont put a black link on a black background" "Dont use the same anchor text on all your links" "Dont use automated directory submission tools". You know the kind of thing. How in the universe can people actually be writing these things and getting people to think - ohhhh - something new, I must share it. Its as though they think people dont know these things? I dunno - maybe they dont? I find it unnerving because all this old hat stuff from 20 years ago still seems to be popular to write about. So I am left wondering things like this. "is there nothing more to it than all this old stuff? " "would people find *me* interesting if I wrote about all this old stuff? " "are there more people out there who know nothing than I realise - thus this old stuff is somehow more valuable than I think? " I could write a bible about the "donts" - I really cant be bothered though, because I just cant see how it could be interesting for anyone? I dunno.
