Hi, As you may - or may not - know the Guild of Accessible Web Designers (GAWDS) launched a few weeks ago - the press release is here: http://www.gawds.org/press/launch.php As part of the launch there is a competition to re-design the Guild website. One of the aims of this competition is to show that a website can be both accessible and great looking. Granted - the look of a website will be of no concern to some members - but it is important for many people and does help to undermine the myth that accessibility and good design are not compatible. I would encourage list members to enter the competition; it is an opportunity to show off your skills, win a prize, show your support for Guild, and have your design adopted for the site for the next year. The full details of the competition are here: http://www.gawds.org/about/competition.php All the best, Jim -- Your website can be beautiful and accessible. Visit http://www.mcu.org.uk - and find out how. Read my new, free, recommended eBook: 'Accessible Web Typography - an introduction for web designers' at http://www.scotconnect.com/webtypography/
