If you've seen other articles on writing for the Web you know that things like bulleted lists and short sentences are important for readability. But writing those types of articles...

Submitter’s comments: I’m sending you a Flash site with really great graphics, but the navigation is horrible. They use icons at the top (medallions, they call them), that you might think are the navigation (Mystery Meat Navigation at that), but if you click on them, they don’t take you anywhere. You have to click on a “background” graphic (to the left or right of the main image) in order to go through the different areas of the site. You only get a couple navigational choices at a time and it cycles you through the areas. {you can’t just jump to the specific area you want to go to}.

Maybe you won’t find it as annoying as I do.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Actually, I probably find it more annoying than you do. It starts off with a volume control that goes to “11.” Holy Spinal Tap — let’s start off with a cliche. Then we get an incredibly pretentious introduction that makes me think we’re watching Spinal Tap 2010. I ignore the following text which, as it turns out, actually gives me a clue as to who/what is behind this crap sandwich.

I click and get an old-style camera, floating lady and some Liberace-looking guy at a piano. We’re starting our descent into the black hole of f**cking death.

Eventually, I figure out this site is some kind of promo for — milk. I like milk. Well, I used to like milk but this site has turned me off to the white stuff. God, what a piece of crap. It reminds me of

Lee’s Limo Service

Submitter’s comments: Worst/funniest limo web site ever. PLEASE  Pay attention to TV Commercial #1. It’s now my favorite new song. “His name is Lee! Leeeeeeee”

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I’ve had bronchitis for the last few days, which explains why the Daily Sucker hasn’t been so daily.

Hopefully, we can all look at the site and figure out what’s wrong. All I need to say is that it doesn’t look like limos.com. Oh, Limos.com sucks mightily because of the small text and lack of contrast between the text and the background. They’re a Daily Sucker, too. On the other hand, their site looks INFINTELY better than Lee’s.
