Blah anyway; you've made yourself clear. You're not at all interested in anything new. Kind of pointless discussing anything with someone so horribly stubborn. At least I look at all technologies, and keep my eyes open. You'd be broke and hungry if you were a commercial designer I'm afraid.

Hey, Eric! I think we have the problem sewn up here! SG has no time for
techies, all the standards are broken (those that she doesn't think are
just "guidelines" anyway) because SG can't follow them, and anyone that
doesn't agree with her blinkered view is unable to grasp "new
technologies" and "horribly stubborn". Think you called it there! ^_^

LOL, he wound me up :)

Sorry, but Eric put it a lot better than I could. May your "clients" be
all you wish them to be. I'll just be the target that didn't get hit over
here. :b

nyaaa.... I just hate blinkered people - don't label me as one :) I do believe standards are a good thing. I said else where that we make sure our sites validate etc, but I also believe standards are a guide to help you along the way, not The Be All and End All. Otherwise you end up being limited by them. In our portfolio, to date, Flash makes up about 20% of our work if that. Everything else we have is pure and simple XHTML+CSS+/-JS. All of it validates against W3C.

Thing is, I'm happy to explore new things - that excites me, keeps me passionate about working in this industry. Good web design has nothing to do with standards really; good design stands, alone often breaking standards and setting new ones.

So, our little experiment, our magazine. It's not a commercial iste. It's not aimed at being for everyone on the planet. It's designed to explore a new way of doing this type of site, learning some new technologies along the way, and building a new platform for us to play with in the future. Maybe it'll be a disaster! I don't know. The onl way to find out is to try it and see. I really hope it works, and I really think we can bring a lot of the "expected behavior" of traditional pages into a more fluid medium.

Who knows, one day maybe Flash will be a standard... or in 3 years time nobody will be using it at all. But at least we explored it before throwing it away!

:)
