Absolutely you’re spot-on. In fact, you have reminded me the extent that your extremely focused code that I saw, had an impact on Camen Design (v0.1) before it was released; and really that should be acknowledged in my "Hello" article (which I'll update after work is out of the way). Certainly my site doesn’t work in IE; but that was for the pursuit of better things, now evident. I see my website as my private “garden”. I tend to it, and I like to have it how I want to see it; and I don’t mind visitors—but a site like OSNews is more of a public space, more of a nature park or reserve and it has to be accessible to all; for the public benefit. (please watch out for trolls under bridges) To that effect, I can code for IE6 just as well as I can code for FF3 http://camendesign.com/blog/files/osnheader-all.png it's just a matter of whose problem I am solving. :) You hit on the positive note at the end, that plays well with me - slowly, but surely, coding to standards and writing thoughtful HTML are becoming easier and more essential as the web makes progress. It's not a down-hill slump into ever greater bowls of tag-soup. Kind regards, Kroc. Thank you for the very kind write-up. Absolutely you’re spot-on.
