|For more than three years, I have been beating my head against the wall
|trying to get my boss to understand that a web site is not a piece of
|paper.
|
|I must have done a good job. The charity for whom she just took over as
|president hired someone to do their web site. Today she emailed this
|person and told him in no uncertain terms that the site had to pass
|strict validation, CSS, and Cynthia Says. She gave him the URLs to test
|with, and even offered to have me test (I've already done that of course
|- and it failed). Why, she even told the guy he needed to use semantic
|markup!
|
|Then she nicely explained the reasons to validate:
|1. Check for problems that can cause havoc in different browsers
|2. SEO
|3. Pride in knowing you have no markup errors.
|
|So, there's hope out there for those of you who have bosses/clients who
|don't/won't understand. Just keep educating.
|

Congratulations Adrienne, some can be shown the light!
