Compatibility of Weblogs and ISSN

“This document is written for ISSN registrars. It will explain the compatibility of Weblogs and ISSN registration. People who publish and maintain Weblogs have applied for ISSNs. Some registrars have immediately registered the Weblogs; others have categorically refused to register Weblogs at all; and still others have reluctantly or selectively registered them. The evidence, however, indicates there are no justifiable reasons not to register Weblogs for ISSN providing they meet the regular criteria.”

Special Characters

“There are many ways to use accents in documents and programs. I prefer to use an international keyboard most of the time. Sometimes, however, that is not an option. Here are a few of the ways that you can get accents without changing the keyboard settings. I have also included HTML options for those who choose to code by hand.”

An open letter to “tableless” recoders

“In the last few weeks I’ve been noticing more and more people reworking existing sites to prove a point. Many of these, such as those done by Matthew Somerville, serve a need — taking an otherwise inaccessible site and making a fully functional version that is accessible to those who wouldn’t be able to use it otherwise. This is a useful service and should be commended. Unfortunately, your site reworking isn’t quite as useful.”
