Hi,
Just wanted to ask when you build an e-commerce site, do you markup
the products in any additional markup to give them more meaning? and
by that I mean microformats or XBL or just XML?
Thanks,

There are several thousand reasons to why someone would want to use XML,

Hi Rick,
And I always wonder how many people, particularly the older generation
who (without wanting to generalise too much) may not be quite as tech-

It's all starting to sound to me like the only way to deal with all
the ifs and maybes is to set up our own options - use the browser

own preferences for your site in case they haven't fathomed the
mysteries of their

I think Image replacement is probably best to use if you are
developing for Mobiles; as these are becoming more relevant. You don't
want people to have to scroll past 10 navigation images in their
mobile browser everytime the page loads. The logo should be a graphic
