Re: [WSG] updated website feedback

[Swami Neelamber]

Hi Marvin!

I noticed on several of Joe's pages the 'Top' anchor doesn't function.

On the "Produce" page it works fine, but the code section: , towards the top of the body, is simply missing from other pages.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that you either have
limited sight, or you are coding this website and check it using a screen
reader?

To be honest, I struggle myself with XHTML and CSS at the best of times, but
I can at least pick visually up where I'm heading in all the code ...

I have to admit therefore, that I am totally amazed at how brilliantly
you've done creating Joe's website at www.raulferrer.com/joe/html/

Keep up the great work!

Cheers


Swami  :)

Re: [WSG] updated website feedback

I think you can  lose the  margin at the top of the page and make the page
go hard up to the top of the browser window - the idea could work better if
the background were white (not that pale green).  And yes, validate - marked
up like a dog - woof!

RE: [WSG] Accessibility and HTML Emails

[Tatham Oddie]

Campaign Monitor, the company behind the ESP have more great resources on
their own site as well:

 

http://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/

 

I highly recommend all of their content because I know there's a huge amount
of effort that goes into all the associated research and cross-client
testing.

 

 


Thanks,

Yes, I love the accessible nature of a long string of non-descript asterisks
instead of a simple horizontal rule element.

Email is supposed to be text communication. Web pages are web pages. If you
want your email recipients to reliably see web pages nearly as you intend
for them to look, have them open them in their web browsers instead of their
email clients. Make the email 100% plain text only, and provide in the email
a URL to the HTML (and CSS) formatted version on your web host.

 

Most HTML email that arrives here is redirected to the bit bucket, since
HTML in email is a highly favored spammer malware delivery method. Whatever
HTML email doesn't reach the bit bucket is seen as (big enough to read)
plain text anyway, courtesy of my email app, which has been directed to show
all messages only as plain text.

[WSG] Looking for Images

[Marvin Hunkin]

hi.
doing a world war veterans club website.
actually updating it.
so was wondering, looking for images, of icons, logos, ships, planes, sub 
marines, flags, pictures of men , woman.
and could spend years trolling via google images.
so i would ask.
where i could find royalty free images.
that is accessible with a screen reader.
cheers Marvin.

I agree that this is technically incorrect, but hardly unusual.

I would be absolutely flabbergasted if Google ignored it purely because
of that.
Google has a strong history of being pragmatic; they _want_ to use this
file; why would you expect them to ignore a file with the right name,
the right kind of content, in the right place?

As an aside, how many robots.txt do you think get served up as text/html
?

Mike
