[WSG] WSG - Time for a re-think on WSG.

2012-03-18 Thread Ewen . Hill
rant

After a while, we humans decide that small annoyances need to end and 
after hearing from an individual I don't know that  I am off sick today 
on the WSG group, I have decided enough is enough. What Russ and his band 
of compatriots did back 15 years or so ago to create a group and spread 
the word has been fantastic howeever it needs a revival.

The vast majority of us are techie, web developers who know a thing or 
two about great websites that are accessible. Isn't that what WSG is 
crying out for? Gopher and Archie have sadly gone and so should the 
current flavour of WSG.

 WSG could be reincarnated into a thing of beauty and a site to behold 
beacuse with HTML5, a sprinkling of accessibility knowledge and a bunch of 
us hacking away, we could show the world that sites can be accessible and 
uber-cool at the same time.
 
Over to you...

Re: [WSG] SEO and headers order

Caleb,
You should be careful to present the information so that people who do 
not use CSS can understand the flow of the document as well (screen 
readers etc). I am assuming that this is a standard right and left nav 
with content in the middle so it would be less of an issue in this 
instance but it is something that can disenfranchise.
