permanent tangent

Back in November 2004 I became an admin of GAWDS. But at the time I wasn’t happy with my name appearing on the front page. I don’t go out looking for praise, and felt uncomfortable with my name appearing. I didn’t feel that my involvement, or my accessibility knowledge, was good enough to warrant such a high profile.

So what changed?

No much is the short answer. I still feel uncomfortable about it, but I am now doing more within the Guild than I have before. The time was right, even if I wasn’t ready for it. It was also necessary for some of the work I am now tackling for the Guild.

I am of course extremely proud that not only am I member of GAWDS, but an admin as well!

This has probable been around for ages, and no doubt I am the last to know about this but I have found something new!

I was reading Guidelines for Accessible and Usable Web Sites: Observing Users Who Work With Screen Readers and I came to the forms section. I thought I’d just check to see if they had marked up the form with <label> and they had.

The interesting point was what appeared in the history. I knew the history of form fields were kept, but had never realised that it must relate to either the <input… name or id.

I guess I am easily pleased!
