Internet rules?

Are there any websites that cover basic guidelines for websites?  I mean, I know there's w3.org, but they are a bit techy.  And I'm not talking about rule 34 and rule 1, etc. on ED either.

I mean basic rules like “content areas of your website should have a white background with black text, and links should be blue and underlined.”  “Never require any information about a user unless your site contains features that only make sense for individual users, or your website is a porn site.”  “Do not use a sitemaker program—learn html it is easy.”  “etc.”

If there aren’t any, I might make one.  See if anybody notices.
