I always use 0.0 for the Home page. If there is another state of the home page
(logged in, or admin user, etc.) I might use 0.1 or 0.2. Sometimes I will also
give a global page a 0.x number, like Search Results, since this doesn't belong
to any content category.
x.0 maps to a category page.

I think the idea behind the automation was more about What you could
do with twitter, instead of The best way to use twitter.
The fact that a tool actually inspires some people to go beyond its
initial means in itself, is complimentary.
Maybe useless was the wrong term to use. I have a Tablet PC, so I

Maybe a better solution instead of a Print Page link, would be a

There you can pop up some options:

Let's assume that you've done the proper work to provide a Skip

minimum to make your content accessible to people without the Flash

The question I ask, then, is: does having a Flash intro to a personal

I promise this isn't related to my previous Flash question - just coincidence.

In general, I do not like Flash intros or splash pages.
Not it depends. In my mind, if you do a Flash-site, your whole
web site should be contained within that flash movie, if you can work
with a good programmer, the technology allows you to do that.

Alan,
I've lately come around to the idea that designers' sites can still be
effective in Flash. Most of us don't really need to worry about SEO
since we're getting business though referrals, not cold visits, and it
does give you a chance to show off a little more.
But what I disagree
