| Link Style Bad
For Professional Resume Click Here
Avoid this structure for links. That is, your colored and underlined
links by default are saying "Click here" so that there is no need to tell
the user to click here. It is redundant.
Assume they know how to use web links.

| Line Edge Adjustment Bad
Old habits from typing are poor habits in computing and often habits
with terrible effect in web page design. Forget the tab key for
text move purposes and do not use spaces
to line
up columns
of text in making lists or tables of text.
Do not use the return key (carriage return)
to force text to stop
near or on the right
hand side of a set of
text. Let the text flow on naturally when it reaches a right edge.
* Do not use combinations of the return key
to end a line then space over for the indent
on the next line or
lines. When
widths change, your edge is lost.
The extra spaces that you type in
may also appear as strange unintended characters on your screen. ??? |
Line Edge Adjustment Good
Web pages are so dynamic that the designer can never tell how wide a page
is, how big the font will be or even the kind of font. The user can resize
the screen or make these other text changes at any time, making text that
was lined up with spaces lose its edge and become very irregularly spaced.
This unevenness makes text very hard to read. Tables, however, can
be used with the return key and alignment button to force a line
of text against the
left
down the
middle
or against the right
edge of a
table.
If you want to indent a block of
of text with an even left edge, then use the indent
command in the ruler. Highlight
your rows of text then click the right or left indent arrows to move
text
to the right or back to the left.

Selecting the bullet or number command will automatically set the next
line indents for you. To turn of the
bullet or list feature on a new line or lines, just click the bullet
or number button one more time.
For more control, you can embed a table any where, including inside
another table. A table can be 1x1 as with these examples.
Table and cell borders do not have to
|
appear. The Table Info commands are under Format in the menu bar. |

File Names Bad
When you create file names for the web, do not put spaces in
file names. Web servers have difficulty with this and sometimes will
simply not work with or automatically rename files that are uploaded with
spaces in the file name. Do not put odd characters such s & or * or
/ in file names as they may also be used as special command characters.
If you must include some kind of character to separate words then use the
underscore or the hypen symbols.
