  144. 	<P>For those who are unaware, this site is hosted on <A HREF="https://neocities.org/">Neocities</A>, a freemium Web host which also provides some basic social networking features, such as the ability to follow other users' sites. Rather than listing them here, you should instead take a look at <A HREF="https://neocities.org/site/lolwut/follows">the page listing the specific sites on Neocities I follow</A>, which automatically updates whenever I follow a new site (or unfollow an existing one).</P>

    146. 

  146. 	<P>These are Web sites I have encountered that have such a terrible design (regardless of the content of the pages themselves) that I feel I must point them out as examples of what to avoid when making a site.</P>
