I have, from time to time, been dropping notes to webmasters with my
opinions and comments on their sites. Sometimes I even get a reply.
Sometimes "webmaster{at}whatever.com" isn't a valid address, since
they seem to have become a target for spam. I've been at this for somewhat
longer than a year.
It's not them that make the final decision, though, but those who direct them.
Case in point: For some folks, a suggestion (which a browser tag is more
often than not) isn't good enough. They can say what font they want to
use, and what size, and so forth. But suppose you don't have that font on
your machine? The solution (and there are times when I *hate* that word!)
on a lot of sites is to load a graphic to substitute. This is _OFTEN_ done
for menu items, typically going down the left side of the page.
Now, my eyes aren't quite what they used to be. I really like the feature
of firefox where you can hit a single keystroke and make the type get
bigger. But when the menus and such are all graphics rather than words,
this doesn't work. Which makes it hard for me to view those sites.
Thier loss, I'll get what I want somewhere else...
Once a lot of those people realize that I have that choice, maybe they'll wake up.
