Flexible CSS Layouts I feel like I quote Zeldman a lot, but he always has such good things to share that I can't help it! This time it's Issue 155 of A List Apart, for people who make websites: “Flexible Layouts with CSS Positioning.” He also suggests that we read “Accountability of Accessibility and Usability” by Anitra Pavka. The title’s a mouthful but the content is easy to digest. Pavka examines web accessibility in the light of recent legal challenges and invites our industry to create guidelines instead of waiting for Big Brother to tell us what to do.

BTW, anyone know why he uses target="eljefe" in his <a href>'s? I always end up removing them in my source. I say let the user do what they want - if they want to open the link in a new window, right click -> open in new tab. Notice I said tab, not window - who uses IE anymore when Phoenix has it all and more! Posted in The Web at Nov 16 2002, 10:25:03 AM MST 2 Comments

I cannot find any way to "subscribe" to ALA. Is it a mailing list? Or do I just need to remember to read it regularly?

As far as I can tell, it's best to just check regularly. I have Zeldman on my daily reads list, so that's where I usually find out about it.
