Usable Standards Group

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 14, 2005, 5:32 PM

News:: Still Alive

I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has stood by the group, even though there hasn't been much activity during the last month or so. This is mostly, I believe because the core members of the group responsible for maintaining it have other responsibilities and as a group founder I haven't put enough motivation behind the project to help it develop

Hopefully that will change, as I have many plans for the future development of the group which I hope will see it flourish.

The main thing I’d ask of the current users is basically just to publicise standards to the web designers of dA perhaps giving guidance and writing a few articles where you are interested. My hopes are that soon we will be able to develop the usg website with more writers and more content. Don't worry though if you don't fancy the idea of going to lots of different sites to know what’s going on, I will try to collect it all on this page so that you can simply come here to be informed.

Anyway hope this helps.

News:: Competition (UPDATE 2)

Discussions are still happenings with regards to the logo competition and we should reach some decisions fairly recently, so hold on to your hats. There are also a few other competition ideas I have install so keep your eyes peals over the next week or two for some updates, they'll be posted here, but you will here about them first if you are in the #us chanel on the dA IRC server.

    This article will be extremely useful for many dA members who regularly submit to the Web designs category. It takes you from psd --> xhtml & css.

    Really, really worth a read. Enjoy.

    cheers to your group, a very worthy cause. many deviants around here really need to work on their web design skills before submitting stuff.

    Articles on IE bugs and misreading CSS and Javascript-
    With examples. Open in both Firefox and IE to compare.

    This one goes in detail over the ways IE misreads CSS and Javascript. Very useful for knowing why IE reads different from, Firefox (for example).

    An extensive list of weird IE behaviors, to avoid.

    I thought this link might be of interest to members:

    [link]

    It's a non-technical article that highlights how a business can benefit from using web standards.

    Us designers and developers always tend to discuss web standards from a techie point of view - which is fine - but this might help to explain the benfits to potential customers in business terms.
