Kim is an excellent writer, and don’t let her convince you otherwise.

Comment on What do you want to see in a Web design panel? by Melody Cissell

My suggestion:

Site Design Beyond Templates

Description: Businesses small and large are seeing the increased benefits of user loyalty, increased revenue, and higher traffic volume after effectively deploying user centered design on their sites. At the core of UCD is the balance of aesthetics (graphic design) and usability (site architecture). This panel would discuss the benefits, basic tennets, and fundamentals of both beautiful and usable sites and the benefit this has for your blogging, ecommerce, or informational site. It is amazing what the visual structure of your site says or doesn’t say about you, let’s start sending the right readers and building better sites.

Steve,
That might be a great talking point that could be woven into some of the other pieces in the tech tracks as well. Accessibility issues are a hot topic!

I’d be interested in the local perceptions and adoptions of the XHTML features for accessibility and adaptation for alternative viewing/reading mechanisms. I’ve been looking at the role attribute and the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) draft. Who is using these specs, locally and nationally? What tools or systems are supporting them? How important is this to everyone, especially as readership grows and content continues to be aggregated and interpreted by screen readers, feed readers, social networking applications, and mobile devices. Thanks!

Yes, Kathy that photo that created a stir was pulled because of an unwritten ban on photos of minors smoking.

hmmm. . . when it comes to nudity: a mother nourishing her child, or a teenage girl starving herself?

our so-called values are so messed up.
