Web Development - Misc.

Please Be Considerate with Audio

More and more web pages are being developed that automatically play sound when the page is entered. This is fine for most people, but please be considerate when placing audio on your pages. Some people have slow connections, and the audio makes the page take longer to load. Also, some people do not like to hear audio. Perhaps you ought to make two versions of your page - one, the default, without audio, and the visitors can click to a duplicate page with audio if they like hearing tunes when surfing the web.
