The LLBest.com home page and it’s various web pages have the following advantages:
1. This website’s home page is a “PHP” file named “index.php3.” It never has to be updated manually. The PHP script causes the link list to be automatically generated by the server each time that the home page is loaded. The LLBest.com home page PHP file cannot be saved or downloaded directly. Therefore, I’ve made a copy of it available as a .zip file: (index.php3 was updated on August 31, 2007 Download now).
2. The list of web pages on the home page includes the entire contents of the website.
3. The dates at the end of each of the home page’s web page titles refer to “date updated,” and are always 100% accurate because they are computer generated.
4. The home page’s web page links are always good because they are computer generated.
5. The web pages are automatically sorted so that the most recently updated web page is always on top.
6. Unlike most Internet home pages, it’s not cluttered or confusing.
7. A common background is used for all of the web pages. This results in quicker loading because the Web browser only needs to download the background image once.
8. The home page and all of the web pages have a “rainbow” background. This makes the pages more interesting. It also makes it easier for the eye to follow the text, especially while scrolling, because the bands of color are horizontal, like the text, and because each line of text has a slightly different background color.
9. Large font sizes with lots of empty space result in web pages which are very easy to read.
[Comment: We are used to thinking in terms of laying out printed documents where space is at a premium. It is best to forget this idea when working with the Internet. On the World Wide Web, larger, easier to read fonts, with lots of empty space, do not result in increased storage space requirements or increased upload times.]
10. All of the pages, including the home page, automatically adjust to the width of the Web browser window.
[Comment: Why use narrow, fixed-width columns, like printed magazines and newspapers have, when Web browsers are all capable of adjusting the text to different window widths? If you want a narrower column for easier reading, then all that you have to do is to make the Web browser window narrower!]
11. Text which is centered, with margins, rather than left justified text with no margins results in a symmetrical appearance which is very pleasing to the eye, as well as very easy to read.
[Comment: Why use left justified text, like it was typed on a typewriter, when Web browsers are all capable of automatically centering it?]
12. Unlike many web pages, font size can be user adjusted by using “View/Text Size.”
13. Special characters such as ¼, ½, °, ®, ‘, ’, “, ”, —, •, ¹, ², ³, †, and ‡ give the text a more pleasing, professional look.
14. Most of the “Utility” web pages have button boxes and text boxes which automatically resize themselves whenever the web browser window is resized.
15. Most of the “Utility” web pages include , and buttons which allow the user to change the font size and font weight (normal/bold) of the text boxes. If you have “cookies enabled,” then your latest font settings will be remembered for up to one week.
16. All of the “Utility” web pages which include , and buttons also include a button. Clicking this button just prior to exiting the web page will insure that no cookie is saved, and will cause any existing cookie for that particular web page to be deleted.
17. A new feature was added on April 9, 2007: Pressing the H key causes a list of keyboard commands to be displayed. The N key cycles through alternative fonts. The 0, 7, 8, C and K keys customize the color scheme. The S key stores the current font, the current color scheme, and the vertical scroll position in the URL so that these parameters may be saved as a “Favorite” / “Bookmark.”
[Comment: If you might be using a different computer next time, the URL produced by pressing the S key could be copy/pasted into an email message and sent to yourself. The customized URL could also be sent to your friends and family so that when they click on it, they would see your customized font / color scheme / scroll position!]
