MACCAWS.org recently published “MACCAWS … Making A Commercial Case for Adopting Web Standards,” a white-paper that encourages businesses to invest in standards-based Web sites. As a Web author who advocates Web standards, I pledge to frequently refer others (my clients or boss) to this article in hopes they will understand that adopting Web standards will positively affect business.
For those who cannot find the time to read such a well-written, albeit lengthy, case for Web standards, I pledge to refer them to Bill Merikallio and Adam Pratt’s “Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered.” This site offers nice cartoons and breaks the explanation into smaller pages.
Lastly, I pledge to follow the New York Public Library Style Guide in all its glory.
