Stars Upon Thars

'Stars upon thars' ~ to borrow a phrase from Dr. Seuss. His Sneeches with stars were the crust of the upper crust. Sneeches without stars were nobody. They might as well go out and eat worms. Stars upon thars is the practical philosophy of web design, and I swore by it. Whatever was the going thing, Bugbones would have it. Bugbones wasn't going to be left out. It wasn't just a case of copy-catting. It was a case of learning by imitation. Nobody really knew what the Web was then, except by looking at what the big guys were doing. I looked at other sites. I read the Webmonkey tutorials. I read a 'Dummy' book. If Dummy said do it, I did it. It's as simple as that.

The perils of Bugbones.
