Stupid Things You Do As A Newbie!

Well I just managed yesterday to finish my .htaccess files after I found that someone at chatopolis had stolen a bunch of bandwidth. Of course I knew I had to do this but it never reached the top of my list until it was a problem. At least I knew what a .htaccess was for!

Anyhow, my latest blunder was to remove my warning page and go straight to my newly RENAMED fake tgp. What's wrong with that, aside from any legal concerns? Well, all my trades get back the wrong referrer so I don't get any credit for the traffic I send out and therefore no traffic back! Aaaaaaaaaah!!! -- Fixed that PDQ.

What did you do that was silly or frustrating when you started out as a webmaster?

Cheers,
