I was just shown a link by a fellow LVS staff member that I do not want to lose, so I am adding it here.
MACCAWS... Making A Commercial Case for Adopting Web Standards
I might also suggest that anyone wanting to make a case for the advantages of designing to web standards to an employer or client might suggest they at least flip through Jeffery Zeldman's book “Designing With Web Standards” or look at a long time favorite site, Zen Garden and a new, soon to be favorite just discovered thanks to the MACCAWS site:
Be sure to take a peek and see some of the goodies there. I notice that the [until very recently] hybrid site, Happy Cog, has been reinvented and picked up an award here. And the most recent winner, Twinsparc, is absolutely lovely in my humble opinion. Since it posted on my birthday, I consider it a personal gift. [Wish I could take credit for being the designer...lol.]
I really need to get on the stick and work with this level of design and standards. Until the first of this year, enough of a percentage of my user base was still using good old Netscape 4.x as their primary, or only corporate, browsers that I was rather hopelessly stuck in beating all but *playtime* pages with hacks to accommodate them visually. But, like magic, they have finally started dropping that old browser like a hot potato in the last few months. What a freeing turn of events that has been! I can finally wander into the 21st century!
TaTa for now!
