Re: Am I in a time warp?

This is a key point provided by others:

"Like every other part of communication, you have to tailor your site to your
audience."


Another point is:

Do you want to be doing this stuff all of this decade? If you do, get used
to the idea of tailoring one set of information for different delivery
vehicles. That's why the XML thing is around. You got digital TV, mobile
phone displays, fridge doors etc [I mean maybe fridge doors will be too
cold to display red! :)]

I know the frustration of having to seek out the "discrepancies" between
getting stuff to work on different platforms. If you can crack the
management of this kind of thing, however, you'll be better placed in the
year 2005 to be a "gun webbie".

Mac is just one more set of parameters on one more set of delivery
mechanisms. See where I'm coming from?

Have your list of delivery vehicles. Gather information about them. Sniff
out what delivery vehicle users are using. Send a version that gives them
great web.

Anyone seen a killer "cheat sheet" for inconsitancies online anywhere?
