Rule Number 1 - Everything looks good on black:
...even my logo.

Rule Number2 - Illusion is always cool:

Rule number 3 - Use plenty of tables:
AND USE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
COLORS BUT BE SURE THAT THEY ARE
AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE UNLESS YOU ARE INTO
GREY ON GREY WHICH IS TOO COOL
REMEMBER - contrast is your best friend... unless you are presenting a lot of textual information, in which case COOL is more important.

Our next lesson will be on "How to brew up a pot of java that will take all day to load". Until then, have fun, and don't forget to pile on the graffix.
