I've been feeling a bit guilty for the past few months because I wouldn't get the bugs out of a friend's insurance-business site for him on the ultra-cheap. The tables and inline mess would've taken so long to sort out that I probably would've been better off, time-wise, starting from scratch. I

I have to toss my vote in the no autoplay pot, as well. Many users have their own media playing already or, as someone mentioned, are in an environment where blaring music is unacceptable. I find it extremely annoying when a site takes over. That's one reason I can't stand going to most MySpace

Hello. I recently found a video embedder plugin that works well with WordPress and validates perfectly with a strict doctype. But I realize validation does not equal accessibility, so what exactly needs to be done to make video accessible? Is it a matter of adding a subtitle track? Thanks for
