an example of bad web design — typical cleverness gone wrong

Page inform­ation

Dude, tap that shit » The Clog. The Philadelphia City Paper Staff Blog » Blog Archive :: Philadelphia City Paper. 25 Years of Independent Journalism.

Assess­ment

It's a blog for a newspaper.

  • The title is attrocious, way too long. Much could be provided as the (presently absent) description, e.g. An article of the Philadelphia City Paper Staff Blog — 25 Years of Independent Journalism, leaving a title of Dude, tap that shit » The Clog » Philadelphia City Paper.

  • A <table> is being used for layout. What a surprise!

  • The <table> has a fixed size too.

  • Four columns. Actually, no; 10, according to the <table>!

  • body { font-size: 11px }

  • The large CLOG motif is actually 7 images that happen to come together due to <table> layout – two <table>s! And each one is a link with the same alt text: The Clog. The Philadelphia City Paper Staff Blog. If you don't have images, you see a huge clump of repeated text.

  • Lots of images lack alt.

I despair!
