From the “What not to put on your website’s home page” department:

1. Under construction messages
2. Really STRANGE features like the one in bold below (although from a technical viewpoint, I am interested in how they accomplished this)

From their website (emphasis mine):

“Please be patient we are still under construction. This ‘static’ site is temporary. Stay tuned for our brand new ‘Dynamic’ site with hundreds of Key features to include just a few: the ability to create user profiles,extra fields in profile, enhanced registration workflows, user lists, connection paths between users, admin defined tabs and user profiles, image upload, front-end workflow management, integration with other components, like PMS, Newsletter, Forum, Galleries.
We are in the process of partnering with other conservative groups and alliances across the country in order to bring you an enormous network. Our new ‘dynamic’ site will be in operation very soon. You will have features at your command that will help level the playing field with the liberals. Thank You LGTR.”

Um…did you guys mean “CMS”?

Oops. Someone must have glossed over the fact that their domain name could be read as “retail the rape”.

[Found on http://realpeoplerealstuff.com, which offers an interesting twist on classified ads. Check it out.]

imageWant to get fired the easy way? Have your boss or HR staff find a photo of you in a compromising situation.

Of course, there’s no need to actually put yourself in that situation and that’s where getyourselffired.com comes in.

Simply choose your situation, upload a photo of yourself and ta-da, you’re ready to get fired!

Once that’s done, job search site itzbig.com hopes you’ll stop to find your next job.

Hell yeah - the return of the rock anthem!

Feast your eyes on the latest from White Gold (sure, it’s an ad for milk - but let’s leave aside that pesky detail for the moment). It’s milktastical! It’s the kind of thing you want to listen to when hanging out with Zaphod Beeblebrox and drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters.

(and is it just me or do you think the bass player is a hotter, younger version of Oprah?—did I just write that??!)

Did you hear? Adobe is launching a FREE version of Photoshop online! How awesome is that?
