-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have to say I agree with others, in that previous designs were better. I liked the one that was up just previous to this one. I like web pages that fill my available window, to minimize scrolling.
The XHTML looks good, except the <html> tag doesn't give the language declaration, as the specs specify. I'd recommend testing your page with the Amaya browser if you want it to be 100% XHTML 1.0 Strict. It isn't a very good browser for browsing with (doesn't support cookies and many other features) but it works great for validating XHTML code. It's free at: http://www.w3.org/Amaya/ I have a couple of suggestions for accessibility of the pages. The alt tags in the images should always mean something useful to the user. "Freenet icon" isn't very useful, especially when there are 7 of them. If an image is simply a little graphic meant to make things pretty, but doesn't convey a specific meaning in itself (i.e. it's not a link or a button), just use alt="". This way, screen readers like JAWS that blind people use won't read them if they're not necessary. I would also try to make the alt text say the same thing as the graphic if there are words in the graphic. For example, you have a graphic that says "Freenet Project" but the alt text says "freenet banner". I would recommend having the alt text say "Freenet Project" as well, so the blind user (or the user with images turned off, which some people still do for bandwidth reasons) get the same message as the sighted user who is seeing the image. I work in web accessibility for blind people, so I get picky about such things. :) Keep up the good work. :GeckoX ++ 24/12/02 01:11 -0000 - Simon Porter: >Hey people > >Just to let you all know a new design is up at >http://freenet.winterfellstudios.net/ It has to be my favourite design >so far, this time created by Alibaster.
