Thanks Bro. Dan!

I am grateful for your encouragement over the last year or so. I will keep
you informed as to how things progress here.

Peace!

Hi Dave!

Nice to see a fellow Upstate-er.

What city are you based in? Roch, Buffalo?

Look forward to meeting you.

Mike

He likely saw something that he shouldn't have seen, and being none too
bright, people knew that he'd talk. Three men can keep a secret, if two of
them are dead. Lots of people have that level of detachment from humanity,
and they're not at all obvious.

bobby etc would have you believe that html 4 is accessible - it isnt,

im afriad that the w3c recomends xhtml (tableless) layout

check the new quark site, i believe its xhtml and looks very different to
the blog style "accessible" sites that are poping up...

mark

nothing.
just getting some idea who's using what.

If you want your site to render on all browsers, you cannot use XHTML. It's
just not supported in everything yet - same goes for XML. It really sucks,
because I for one would really like to switch technologies right away. But,
it's hard enough developing content that renders the same in IE & Mozilla
(Netscape) & on a Mac without having to develop two more variations of the
output that's either XHTML or not.

Our sites remain strict 4.01, plus CSS & Flash (however Flash and CSS aren't
*required* to view the sites, they just make them look "pretty").

This has generated yet more news, though in a rather freakish way, in this
story about new developments in e-commerce, advertising, etc., ....


The new service is an extension of the bid-for-placement service pioneered
by Overture, in which marketers pay for their ad to appear atop search
results whenever an Internet user types a certain word or phrase. Under that
approach, when an Internet user enters "airline tickets" as a search query,
for example, the text ad of the merchant who has bid the most will appear
atop the results on Overture.com.
...........
When serving ads for content sites, both Overture and Google employ
technology that infers the topic of a page by scanning for words and
phrases, searching through a database of tens of thousands of advertisers,
then delivering a relevant text ad. In some cases that is not difficult. For
instance, on Weather.com's golf forecast page for Norfolk, Va., Google's
service (which it calls AdSense) can deliver ads for marketers who had bid
to have their ads appear above Google search results whenever users type
"Norfolk Virginia golf courses" or some similar phrase.
................
The technology is not yet foolproof. The online edition of The New York
Post, which is owned by the News Corporation, ran an article last month
about a murder in which the victim's body parts were packed in a suitcase,
and Google served up an ad for a luggage dealer.

"We are working with Google to fine-tune this program," said Suzanne Halpin,
a New York Post spokeswoman. "We take it on a case-by-case basis and do our
best to remove inappropriate ads."

xhtml 1.0 transitional and css yes. I don't do proper Netscape 4 support
unless I feel it especially necessary (the site is still usable but as a
'text-only' style job) and apart from that IE5 and it's box-model is the
only real workaround that's a nuisance.

Though the lower-budget jobs still get done with tables because when time is
short I'm still quicker with nested-table mayhem.

images too big for my small connection and that annoying

hmm all i saw was a grey screen, a lound hum, and a lot of little grey dots.

Yikes....the way I see it, a year of working experience on the field
is equal to more than a year of education (sometimes 2 years,
sometimes even more depending on the pace of the work/intensity), not
the other way around.

Yeah, I tried that, didn't help much. I got some unsolictied contributions
from a few other posters here who did much better than I did, and said I
could use their work. Which I feel kinda bad about actually. I tried to
make myself feel better by adjusting the path a little, so at least I
contributed something.

Given your web page, it's hard to believe that the pen tools are not your
absolute favorite tool. A little practice, and you'll learn to love it.

Yeah, the pen tools are great . . . but those aren't traces. It's
following exactly someone else's line that I was having trouble with.

Illustrator. It's ok, I'm done with the project now. I took what someone
else had sent me and used it as a reference to redo what I had done and
tweak it, and the boss is happy, so I'm done.
