bad guys subvert your system to their own purposes.

Here's a precept to design websites by, from someone with expertise and
experience both:

Any site should be designed so that it's usable as a
dead file tree with no server-side smarts. Any sort of
active pages or search engines should be an add-on, not
essential.

Take a look at: http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ if you have
a few minutes.

It is all written with Wordpad and uses a CSS to keep the design
uniform, along with a split Javascript to hide the E-mail address. I
use this simple format on all the pages I create. It is tested to work
with several older and current browsers, even though faults are found
when its run though one of the HTML verification sites. When I correct
the "Errors" it doesn't work with some browsers, so it will stay the way
it is, as long as most browsers will work with it.

You can still access the sites without CSS or Javascript enabled, but
you do lose some formatting and it takes longer to navigate the site.
