Accessibility for the Deaf online is an issue I have encountered daily when helping my son browse the web.
Many times I have needed to interpret sites and specially game sites for him because only sound prompts are available.
This week’s article on A List Apart explains how deficient the accessibility for the Deaf is and what we can do to change that.
In addition to my latest decision to discontinue support for IE6 I might implement the Universal IE Hack described on this
post by Andrew Faulkner. Please scroll down to the hack’s description.
Hilarious! My good laugh for the day. Enjoy!
If you are starting your Wordpress voyage and would like to know how to design/code your templates and work with dynamic sidebars, widgets, plugins, etc. you might get confused or overwhelmed by the volume of information out there.
My road to Wordpress knowledge wasn’t too bumpy but like anything related to web technology it’s a never-ending road as new versions get released regularly and with each major release there are new things to learn, new widgets/plugins to install and implement.
To make the lives of other designers a little easier I put together a little collection of resources:
Templating
Dynamic content
General information
I was checking
Cuil this morning. Attracted by the boasting of being a more powerful search engine than Google I had to try it.
I started with browsing the site’s About pages and what was my surprise to see that it couldn’t find it’s own Features page.
When I clicked on the Features tab I got a “Oops! We couldn’t find that page.”. Somehow that was a little discouraging…
As Chris Brogan says on his “
Cuil Misses Me” post, it can’t even find my domain name if I type it in full.
And boy was it slow as molasses… I guess everybody else is doing what Chris and I did - searching our own names, nicknames, domains, to see what it comes up with.
I will try again tomorrow…
