RE: [WSG] SEO, fact or fiction

Hi,

Search robots are essentially blind users.

Design to Web accessibility standards and you remove all the clutter that
can get in the way of bots traversing your site and also include
information that they might otherwise miss (e.g. through alt attributes).

The easier it is to find keywords the better your ranking for them.

This prompted me to look back at our logs (US public library: 10  
branches, about a million circulating items, and in a town with a  
large state university - the students may heavily skew the stats)


Jan 2008
IE7 - 47.2%
IE6 - 25.4%
IE5 -  1%
FF - 22%
Safari - 2.8%

Feb 2008
IE7 - 48.9%
IE6 - 22.7%
IE5 -  1%
FF - 22.8%
Safari - 2.9%

Mar 2008 (to date)
IE7 - 58.6%
IE6 - 15.4%
IE5 -  1%
FF - 21.4%
Safari - 2.9%

So here at least the decline in IE6 usage is quite significant, and  
if the trend continues, has been handily overtaken by FF! Good news  
for me, at least...


FWIW

I use XP on two different corporate networks. Both have auto-update
blocked, and will remain on IE6 for the foreseeable future. I don't
think this is uncommon, but we will need to wait and see. Until now, the
general practice appears to be to support the latest two versions of IE,
but I think for a while it is going to have to be three - my prediction
is that IE7 will disappear faster than IE6 does!

Re: [WSG] IE8 news

2008-03-07 Thread aleagi
Hello Mike,

I agree with you.

There's a lot of users still working in obsolete machines or/by
option, browsing with IE6.

I think IE7 was a transition state to the web standards rendering,
like Windows Me was to 98 from 2000.

Microsoft likes to do things like that...

I do believe that IE7 will fade away more faster than IE6, and that's
my worry...

We will still have to spend time debugging, now for 3 different browsers...

I really hope that IE8 official release came out without grotesque
problems or we'll have to deal with IE9, very soon...

Let's wait and see!

Best Regards from sunny Brazil,
Aleagi

[WSG] Online Survey Consultation Tools

2008-03-07 Thread Faul, Mark
Hello everyone,

We are currently researching and evaluating tools for both online consultation 
and online surveys for our public website and intranet.  If you are currently 
researching tools for online consultation and/or online surveys, which tool(s) 
are you considering and why?  If your website currently uses either of these 
tools, could you please respond to the following questions:

1. What tool(s) do you use to conduct (a) online consultations; and/or (b) 
online surveys?

2. Is the tool(s) hosted on your Internet and/or Intranet?

3. Would you recommend the tool(s)?  Why or why not?

4. Do you manage the consultation/survey process (design, moderation, analysis, 
etc) in-house or with external consultants?  If externally, with whom?
  
5 . Please provide a contact name  email for someone with whom we could 
follow-up if necessary.

Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your comments!

Warm Regards,

Mark Faul

That would be all of my colleagues - and me if I want to access the 
intranet for our town. It won't work in MSIE 7 (and hence not in MSIE 8 
with any switch.) I carry around FFox on a USB stick to avoid this 
nightmare.


Yes, I've complained. I have written about it in our local paper. I have 
pleaded. I have done everything in my power. What do the brainiacs at 
the IT department answer. We don't see this as a problem. IE 6 works.


As long as all sites work in IE6/7 and some intranets won't work in any 
other, we are stuck. Let's do break the web - free from bad browsers!

[WSG] Navigation menu problem

2008-03-07 Thread Kevin Arrowsmith
 Hi All,

 

Im having a problem getting a menu to look right in IE6, it can be found at
http://darkvirus.homeip.net/~darkness/h2/new/ 

 

IE7 and FF seem fine but IE6 seems to put a margin under each link and I
cant seem to get rid of it (IE8 only seem to change the background colour
when the mouse is over the text or border which I put on earlier).

 

To save you looking through the source the relevant css is

 

#nav

{

float: left;

width: 195px;

margin: 0 0 10px 0;

text-align: center;



}

#nav ul

{

list-style-type: none;

padding: 0;

margin: 10px auto;

background: #f2edf6;

width: 175px;

border: 1px solid #7d50a6;

text-align: left;

}

#nav li

{

font-size: 13px;

padding: 0;

margin: 0;

}

#nav li a

{

display: block;

padding: 5px;

text-decoration: none;

font-weight: bold;

color: #7d50a6;

background: #f2edf6;

margin: 0;

}

#nav li a:hover

{

text-decoration: underline;

background: #dccce9;

}

 

 

PS. Any general comments or recommendations on the site are greatly welcome.

It should, but we should also expect to see that parsing bug fixed in a

Let's hope MS fixes the real issue before that bug so we have a filter in

[WSG] Firefox developer toolbar

2008-03-07 Thread Hayden's Harness Attachment
I hope this is not off topic. I have the web developer toolbar working great 
with Firefox 2.x. Does the web developer toolbar support Firefox 3.0 beta 3?

Re: [WSG] IE8 news

2008-03-07 Thread IceKat

Hey,

I've been watching some of the IE8 conversations. I got it just 
yesterday and tried it. While it may pass the Acid2 test flawlessly (and 
only be a beta) it takes up /masses/ of memory. My computer isn't 
exactly a dinosaur but it still paused whilst trying to type using IE8. 
How powerful a computer is recommended anyway? However considering the 
problems with IE in the past I'd say I can live with that.
