My pet peeve which Jeff doesn't include (or didn't when last I looked) is messages such as "this page requires Netscape 2.0" when in fact the page is fine with earlier versions and even other browsers.
What these authors often mean is "I tested this page with Netscape 2.0, and I don't know or care whether it will work with anything else". Thanks heaps, that defeats the whole purpose of HTML and puts public access computing back years. I suppose at least you've shown you know other browsers exist...
By way of contrast, I do like the way some sites optimise for a particular browser but give users of other browsers the option of going to a standard HTML version of the pages. Now that's medium cool. What would be really cool would be to detect the browser in use and act accordingly. But you won't see either of these on my pages for the moment, because standard HTML is delivering what I want, and life is finite...
Two more suggestions I have for improving your Website:
Often I get to someone's interesting page by a search engine and can't find their home page! If they havn't read protected their directories I can sometimes guess, and of course lots of people have it as their default page - but the elegant solution is to have a backlink to your home page as part of your standard page footer.
