Headwear For Web Standards
November 21st, 2007I saw an interesting article on Zeldman about Blue Beanie Day. Apparently Douglas Vos, creator of Facebook’s Designing With Web Standards Group has put together this event to raise awareness of the importance of standards on the web. According to Vos:
Monday, November 26, 2007 is the day thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content. … Don a Blue Beanie and snap a photo. Then on November 26, switch your profile picture in Facebook and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group at Flickr.
It’s an interesting idea and I hope that many partake. I know I will.

My biggest problem with the current state of web standards… is that while you’re struggling to comply, they are already changing them.

It is important to consider the evolution of the varied code bases as well as diversified and ever changing web standards when choosing the best technological platform for the client.

The concept of web standards is still very young. They’re constantly evolving because of the myriad of variables involved in developing for the web. There are browser inconsistencies, bandwidth restrictions, and web-based technologies themselves are not static. In order to remain relevant, standards must be constantly changing.
Happy blue beanie day!
