Re: [WSG] Accessibility and HTML Emails

You can have a look at The Email Standards Project 
http://www.email-standards.org/ for information.

Also, if you want to build a set of guidelines that will work in the future, 
you might want to read these two:

Re: [WSG] VALLIDATION HELP

2009-09-13 Thread S.R. Emerson

Dear Alan,
Mr. Hunkin is blind.  Cut him some slack.

Before cutting down his (or anyone else's) coding skills, maybe you should 
fix the errors on your own home page. wink

[WSG] W3C Validators in Jeopardy

2008-12-11 Thread S.R. Emerson
...That we've had the use of validation tools via the W3C for so long and 
without cost has been a significant component in the teaching and evangelism 
surrounding Web standards and best practices. To lose these tools would impact 
that message, not to mention take a certain amount of quality assurance away 
from the process

Re: [WSG] Web governance

2008-11-25 Thread S.R. Emerson
Andrew,
Seeing you have not had any other ideas presented, how about:

a)  Using the Web Style Guide as a basis for creating your own web style guide 
for the agency?  http://webstyleguide.com/  The 2nd Edition is available 
online.  The 3rd Edition is available for purchase.
b)  You could also use the Chicago Manual of Style Online for some ideas.  
http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html
c)  Add that the website has to follow the chosen W3C spec. and validate.

You can also Google web style guide and web style guide examples to see other 
web style guides that have been developed.

Ask if the agency has a style guide already for the printed and marketing 
materials.  You can incorporate the applicable parts into the web style guide 
(e.g. logo use, colour scheme)

Hope that helps get you started at least.

[WSG] Accessible - Standard Compliant - Club Membership System

2007-09-13 Thread S.R. Emerson
Does any one have a recommendation on a club management system that:

1. is accessible.
2. Uses XHTML.
3. Does not use tables preferably.
4. Supports separate departments based on location.
5. Each location head can modify the pages applicable to their location.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

Fw: [WSG] Accessible Open Source CMS

2007-09-13 Thread S.R. Emerson
I asked a person I know that is physically challenged about Wordpress and she 
doesn't have any problems with it.

Found this review:
http://juicystudio.com/article/choosing-an-accessible-cms.php

Look at comment #27 - submitted by a visually impaired user who uses JAWS 
screen reader.

Is there a particular reason you have specified XHTML?


So it is upgradeable for the future.
