Re: [WSG] SEO vs. Accessibility

2009-05-26 Thread Tijmen Smit
I wouldn't worry about it. Search engines are smart enough to see the
difference between trying to influence your ranking by spamming keyword etc.
Or just have an item or 2 being placed of screen for accessibility reasons.

Re: [WSG] Making an image come right up to a list

2008-07-30 Thread Tijmen Smit
Add this -> #mainNav ul {margin:0; padding:0;} to your stylesheet. Also have
a look at css reset ->
http://www.search-this.com/2007/03/12/no-margin-for-error/ , that prevents
you from running into stuff like this,

Theres also no such thing as "left center;" :)

Re: [WSG] web optimization

Hey there,

Have a look at this page from Yahoo and the plugin for firefox.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ it should give you more then enough
information on how you can optimize your webpage.
