The Web Design Trend Obituary & Death Clock
This is a great article that is long overdue.
My additions to the list:
- Wet Floor (late 2006)
- Wicked Worn (2007? 2008?)
- Google Ads (2007)
- Phrase “Click Here” (never)
- Flash Intros (dead)
- Cascading menus (now, please?)
There should be some web repository where people can check this out.
And yes, I have been guilty of all of the above at some point or another.
I am making a solemn pledge not to use Wicked Worn for at least 30 days.

What about NEON and Large type headings? These should die immediately.
