Perhaps, if the audience doesn't like what you have to say they'll call the police in and have you taken off to jail for disturbing the peace? Just kidding, it's not too likely that will ever happen. So, what is it? Maybe it's an imposter syndrome fear?

Some of those opportunities are being wasted, however, through poor Web site design. Meldrum revealed the biggest errors made in creating or maintaining a Web site. . . TOP 5 MISTAKES OF WEBSITES: 1. Mistaking creativity for functionality. "Don't try to put everything on your front page. Organization is the key. Lead your fans to the most important things."
