So often some people think of the reasons why they can't do something, whereas a change of thinking might unlock a new path, an alternative thought process which reinforces the reasons they can do something. It's the challenge for those of us who work with others to assist in finding the key that unlocks that process. A friend suggested that Sally came to see me as she was due to come to the end of her current contract in the Metropolitan Police and had admitted to being rather unsure of what she, unmarried and 29, wanted to do next. She sat down for our session, actually quite confident and self-assured. So I asked her what she wanted to talk about, did she know what she wanted to do next...

One of the biggest misconceptions on the World Wide Web is accessible web sites can not be visually appealing.

Validate all your code and check against accessibility guidelines. This should be the most obvious step in making any web site more accessible.

Like many web content authors, over the past few years I've had many occasions when I've needed to clean up a bunch of HTML files that have been generated by a word processor or publishing package. Initially, I used to clean up the files manually, opening each one in turn, and making the same set of updates to each one. This works fine when you only have a few files to fix, but when you have hundreds or even thousands to do, you can very quickly be looking at weeks or even months of work. A few years ago someone put me on to the idea of using Perl and regular expressions to perform this 'cleaning up' process. Why write an article about Perl and regular expressions I hear you say. Well, that's a good...

While writing and designing your website you need to keep in mind the various web browsers which one can find out there. Simply because you use, say, Internet Explorer version 7 that does not mean that your visitors will also be using IE7.

Actually, the top 10 browsers by market share (according to Net Applications) are: IE6 - 26.2% Firefox - 23.7% IE7 - 19.9% IE8 - 19.9% Safari - 4.2% Chrome -3.2% Opera - 2.4% Netscape -.3% Mozilla -.1% Konqueror and IE5 -.04% Okay, I know the percentages do not add up to 100%, but that is due to rounding.

For a further description we refer to an excerpt from the wc3 website as they are the last word when it comes to validation! Validation is a process of checking your documents against a formal...

Web design has come a long way in the past fifteen years. What started out as a simple scrawling of black text against a computer screen has merged into an amazingly complex art form, of which an entire industry is now dedicated.
