ALA 3 Goes Online

Posted by timothy on from the eyestrain-relief dept.

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 ;-)."

  2. Permanent URL by metalhed77 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    On each article page, there is a link labeled Permanent URL which you click to permanently bookmark the page. Now, i can't figure out how to get to a page in such a way where the permanent bookmark url is different than the page I'm viewing, but I'm sure that this is not good UI design. Why are all these URLs having to be reused? there is no good reason, especially with things like modrewrite. I've always found ALA to be useful, but often out of step with the true philosophy of the W3C. That being said, I think W3C HTML standards suck and are philosophically broken in the first place, so maybe he has a point.
