ALA 3 Goes Online
Qbertino writes "Jeffrey Zeldmans Alistapart ("ALA"), a very educative website for everything concerning webdesign, that also heavily promotes web standards, has come back online in it's third incarnation. As you might expect from one of the world leading web designers it works good in all standards compliant browsers and - other than recent attempts at webdesign - doesn't make your eyes bleed ;-)."
On the other hand, not all users are going to be apt to do this and it's a courtesy to have the default behavior be the most readable on the most screens.
Dear 12" monitor owner,
I am sorry to hear that my use of a 933 pixel wide is causing you some distress. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to correct your problem. You see, our master web designers at www.aripapart.com have told us that the minor inconveniences of 21" monitor owners far outweigh the fundamental usability needs of 12" monitor owners. May I suggest you 'get with the program' and buy the 17" PowerBook and toss out that 12" iBook?
Sincerely,
R. J. Noyed
