Yes, I am joining Website. I know this was probably an automessage, but why not go for it once again... Name: Miikka Leskinen Gender: male Age: 19 Nationality: Finnish Residence: Rovaniemi (on the Arctic Circle) Occupation: Student and Web designer I just got a degree in IT and economics - formally 'Vocational Qualification in Business Information Technology' - in conjunction with the Finnish equivalent of the American senior high (or the British sixth form college). A so-called double degree, a special system here in northern Finland. I've had but one big web design post so far, but been involved in many smaller projects. Web design has been a personal hobby for about 2-3 years now, and this all has been quite a learning curve. From a graphics designer to a standards zealot to an accessibility geek to a graphics designer. It's probably the only area of IT I can say I'm very good at. But I'm still studying, building websites 'the real way' isn't too simple. Currently I'm waiting for my final exam results. I'll also build a website for a small local security company next month. Strong points: knowledge on specifications and all sorts of guidelines. Accessibility and special user groups. Usability, web writing. Browser behaviour. I use W3C a lot but they're not always very smart imho. For instance, why go for a completely new and revolutionary XHTML technology if any of the current browsers don't even support XHTML 1.0? The web is much more than the specs. But what I can do for the website project... I think you can use me if you need. I've already done some browser testing and given suggestions on the design and code, but it seems that you've done wonderful job here even without me (of course). I'll probably hang around here, read my email every once in a while, throwing suggestions. I can also look through the current code and make improvements, hopefully making it more stable and compact. That's about everything for now... Miikka Leskinen miles_fin ps. And no, I don't have a blog currently. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
