Top 10 Web Design Mistakes of 2005

I will try something different this year and call for a vote: what design
mistakes do *you* think are worthy of getting on the next top-10 list?

You can nominate design mistakes in two categories:
   a) Top mistakes made by traditional websites
   b) Top mistakes made by weblogs

Please email your comments no later than this Friday to:
   > [email protected] 

(You don't have to list exactly ten items.) 

Anything sent to this special address will be considered to be for
publication, unless otherwise indicated. I will respect requests to keep
examples or comments anonymous.
