RE: [WSG] Flash Intros in General (was Looking for feedback on new AP)

[John McDougald]

I think you are missing the point to my original request. Thank you to
all who have replied. I understand now that this is not the appropriate
forum for this discussion.

I requested for you to review my AP (Award Program) not my entire
site. I'm currently working on a new site design that is much lighter
with less java that will comply with the W3C and WAI standards.

Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

BTW - the splash page stays! :)

 I personally try not to use splash pages  and am not a personal
fan of
 flash intros  splash pages though can harms a sites SEO especially
if
 the splash page isnt linked to a site map or something similar.

  If one thing on a web site infuriates me, it is those Flash intros!
I
 skip
  away from them whenever I can and if there is no option to skip the
intro,
  then I end up closing the site and going somewhere else.  My time is
too
  valuable to sit there and wait for these things to play.  They serve
no
  worthwhile purpose to the viewer. (IMHO)

with
  requirements.
