Comments on web text, wherever I find it. I focus on text interacting with graphics, interface, navigation, and the whole object orientation of content management.

Have you left out-of-date notices on your site?  Pages that predict the Y2K bug is coming?  Appeals to attend a party that took place in 2002?

We all do it. In this sense, websites are artifacts showing how far we got with a particular project before, well, pooping out.  Never before have so many incomplete drafts been made public.

They clog search engines, embarass their creators, and frustrate visitors.  But we all leave up old pages because we are focused always on the new.

Best to think of a web site as a process, not a finished product.

CNN has a funny piece on half-done, out-of-date, and abandoned web sites at:
