ASP Insiders - Do we need that ?
OK I am surely going to be flame on this one but hey it's just my small opinion,and I like to debate ;-)
Do we really need another elite ?
I know it's history in our modern world to have the elite and the plebe.
Is .Net really need another group than MVPs ? The advantage is surely to be more Microsoft independent.
I know for sure that MVPs are really nominated for their expertise and it's easy to see why.
But ASP insiders !?!?
Probably I miss the point but it looks for me like the nth secte having their meeting in a obscure chamber of a gothic castle.
Some members (and no doubt in my mind that you have great names here !) are already MVP so what is reallty the goal.
Shouldn't we be more embracing a whole community, open our doors to every developer?
For example Weblog.asp.net,Dotnetjunkies and the others are surely contributing to make .Net something everybody talk in town.
Well as I repeat many times, I am open mind and I am also a listener. -

Dive Into Accessibility
This book answers two questions. The first question is "Why should I make my web site more accessible?" If you do not have a web site, this book is not for you. The second question is "How can I make my web site more accessible?" If you are not convinced by the first answer, you will not be interested in the second.

[CSS] Css hacks
CSS hacks are clever tricks which take advantage of browser bugs to perform such magic as "hiding" CSS from specific browsers or kicking browsers that don't follow the specs into line. There is a long running occasional debate over whether or not these hacks should be used, covered on ToHackOrNotToHack. Please keep such discussions off this page. The attributes of a good CSS hack are described on GoodCSSHack.
