I’ve just installed 2.7 and wow, it’s such a huge interface change, again!
While it does look awesome and I’m sure it’s way better than the previous version I must say it does get a bit annoying when the interface your just getting used to is replaced again.
However after reading the post announcing 2.7 ( coltrane ) I think it is safe to say this will be the last major interface change for some time.
Guess I best stop writing and actually play around with this new version!

With the return of 24 ways, I’m almost getting into the festive spirit, just maybe. I know for certain I am very much looking forward to the rest of 24 ways this year.
With three days already gone, be sure to add it to your rss feeds because I’m sure we still have 21 blindingly good articles to come!
At least I know when the family crack out that interactive DVD game, I will always have 24 ways to cure the bordem!

I was reading a recent post by Rachael Furn which got me thinking about accessibility and need for it in blogs.
Rachael was having a rant about how people who are not professional web designers are creating their own layouts/designs for their blog using software such as wordpress, textpattern etc.
Her argument is that it is ruining the visitors experience and the internet on a whole.
I can’t help but, generally disagreeing with her comments. A blog generally is a personal site where visitors are interested in what you have to say, you are not providing a service and not expected of anything other than trying to get your content to as many people who would read it.
However if your blog was about lets say, web design then I very much doubt people would even consider your views if you was not able to practice what you preach and further more I doubt you would be very successful.
In conclusion, while I agree it’s a sin to bastardize HTML and accessibility is a must, it generally only really applies to professional web designers not the average Joe who’s creating a site to show of his literacy skills. You have to remember the web is here for everyone, not just professionals!
