Hello again, groups. Long time, no post.
I'm now working for the web center of a large Midwestern company, and am
thinking of putting together a presentation on web usability and design
issues for a brown-bag type. This is an area I once considered myself
pretty knowledgable about, but I haven't been active in these circles
for several years now. I don't want to start harping on ideas that have
been out of date since 2001! So if anyone has ideas for topics I ought
to include, or pointers to good online references from recent years,
that would be most helpful. I do plan to cover the basics like valid
markup, graceful degradation (use your alt texts!), thinking
"alternative views" and how CSS is a boon, etc. If this goes well, I
might do something more in-depth on CSS later, so I don't want to focus
overmuch on it now. What makes the web usable? What are you doing on
your sites to aid navigability and usability in general?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
