TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
*Leave out all animation except as pertains to the content (i.e. explanatory
animations, such as data flow across a network).
*If you are tempted to experiment with Flash, and want to create one of
those nifty splash screen intros for your web site, lie down until the
temptation subsides.
To summarize--keep it simple. The more stuff a visitor has to wade through
or wait to download from your site, the less likely they will be to get to
the information they want.

Hello All,
I'm soon to enter the world of web building as part of my tech
writing duties. I'm learning the basics (direct HTML and FrontPage) but
wanted to ask our panel of experts: What would you recommend for animation
and other flourishes?
