+ Don't overuse marquees.
+ Have a nice color scheme.
+ Vary the link color from the text color. (Personal preference).
+ Having tons and tons of Javascript does not make your page any better. Use in moderation.
+ Be cross-browser compatible. I hate when I need to open up IE just to read some text that isn't in the least bit interesting.
+ Don't disable right click on everything. Just images is a lot better. Why? It don't like the effort it takes to open a link in a new window when right-click is disabled. But that's just me.
+ Don't use target="_new". That annoys me to no end. Use target="_blank" instead.
+ Give credit to every source you remember. It's proper etiquette.
+ Don't type really 1337. Most people can't read 1337. Also, don't type lYkE dIsH. It's annoying. I don't think this applies to you though.
+ Having everything blinking is hard on the eyes. Don't.
+ Read these articles or whatever.

+ Be nice. Nice is always better than not nice.
+ Don't trash everyone who gives you a bad comment. =S
