how do I recognise a wanky homepage?
If your stomach doesn't tell you first, our researchers have isolated some key features of the often spotted webpagius shitehausia:

		dogs e.g. an enormous TIFF of a Yorkshire terrier that takes two hours to download
		holidays e.g a fuzzy picture of a man in a jumper standing near Niagara Falls, pointing
		old news e.g. an hysterically excited "Have You Seen This?" link to the Dancing Baby
		children e.g. a photo gallery of a bloated, pink infant in various blankets
		animated crap e.g. dozens of spinning, flashing, winking animated GIFs (skulls, dirigibles, cupids etc)
		counter e.g. A ropey counter saying "You are visitor number 576 since June 1997"
		flash e.g. a spinning and rotating and unusable £7 million conceptu-site like this [submitted by Wilson]
		MIDI e.g. a cheesy plinky version of the Final Countdown which blares embarrassingly out of your speakers the moment the homepage loads [submitted by Jeff Gitchel]

You may of course have direct experience of wanky homepages. If you do, please submit any key features you have found here. We will continue to list them here on this page.
