BusinessWeek has an article out in which they ask a variety of internet and design luminaries what they believe are the key principles of web design in this rapidly-evolving world of technology we live in.
It's an interesting article for designers, developers and those with an interest in these things, so feel free to go on over to the BusinessWeek site to have a look, but for brevity I will just post the 10 commandments as they are.
- Thou shalt not abuse Flash.
- Thou shalt not hide content.
- Thou shalt not clutter.
- Thou shalt not overuse glassy reflections.
- Thou shalt not name your Web 2.0 company with an unnecessary surplus or dearth of vowels.
- Thou shalt worship at the altar of typography.
- Thou shalt create immersive experiences.
- Thou shalt be social.
- Thou shalt embrace proven technologies.
- Thou shalt make content king.

Awww, isn't there a commandment about advertising being the devil ?

Yeah, in the full article it mentions advertising in the one about avoiding clutter and content being king. Nothing wrong with well-placed advertising so long as it isn't too intrusive!
