This Day a Year Ago
September 10th a year ago none of us had a clue about what the very next morning would bring and how it would change our lives forever. I’ve reflected so much all year long, and I can’t believe it’s been an entire year now since the day that is permanently etched in our minds, our lives, and our hearts forever. Many of us online joined together to share information, to help, to do whatever we could for those in New York, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania and all the families, loved ones, friends and others. That’s when what is now the... (303 words, 6 links, 1 image)

Friday Feast #22: Practicing What We Preach About Standards, Accessibility, and Starting Backwards
Some expect W3C members to follow their own Recommendations, whether their sites are personal or business. Not surprisingly then, people are writing about W3C member sites not validating and Bobby-failing accessibility related sites. Is it fair to expect W3C members to create sites that follow W3C Recommendations? Is it fair to expect those advocating accessibility to create accessible sites? Sure.

Layout Approach: CSS, Tables, A Combination—What To Do?
I’ve had email about my last Friday Feast regarding a forward-thinking approach and how to decide whether to use a CSS- or tables-based layout or maybe a combination approach. I don’t think there’s a blanket “right” answer, as an approach for each project must be determined by the needs, target market, and possibly other factors. For example, if you’re building an Intranet for a client’s office that is stuck with version 4 browsers until January 1, 2004 you’ll most likely take a different approach than you would if they’re using version 6 or 7 browsers that support far more CSS, of...
