Shamelessly stolen from here

Sigh... Overly clever "user" interface - minimal information on how to use the web site. The picture you link to has a different pic of Yasser on it and the dimensions are smaller so it's not the same original image...

Besides, you violated a lot of basic web design on your parent website. I looked at Jakob Nielsen's top ten here:

but I had to go back to his original May 1996 top ten mistakes to find what I was looking for.

Item 1. Using Frames
Item 2. Gratuitous Use of Bleeding-Edge Technology
Egregious mis-use of Item 7. Lack of Navigation Support
and Item 8. Non-Standard Link Colors

The highly restrictive user-login (guest has zero rights) is really conducive to repeat visits...

Oh yeah, here is one more from his May 30, 1999 Top Ten list:

3. Non-Standard Use of GUI Widgets

Drop out of art school and get a real job 'ya bum!
