About

That Standards Guy is the online persona of Karl Dawson, a web developer living and working in Ipswich, England.

I'm a member of the Guild of Accessible Web Designers and the Web Standards Group and team member at Accessites—an awards site to recognise accessible and usable websites.

I specialise as a front-end developer and worry about the minutae of semantic (X)HTML and CSS, accessibility, microformats, typographic rhythm and grid design. I also care about the user experience and remind myself constantly of visitor site goals when working with clients and their aims.

That Standards Guy is proudly powered by WordPress using my own “StrictlyTSG v3.0” theme. Site Policies.

@media 2007 Schedule

Long time, no post. I was actually expecting to write a “this is my last post” entry as I’m completely disillusioned with my “career” or lack thereof. Instead, seeing as I paid for the event myself, I’m just going to list the presentations I will be going to on the two-track schedule.

Thursday June 7th: Day One

Friday June 8th: Day Two

Sadly conferences have become a necessary injection of enthusiasm for me (like the book buying and reviewing) but meeting like-minded people is what makes conferences so important to me. I hope to see as many of you as possible and needless to say accessifyforum.com members will be there in force and Saturday sight-seeing is in early-stage discussion already.

  1. That’s pretty much what I’ve got planned, except I’ll be taking in Jeremy Keith’s talk on Friday. Should be a good trip.

    Karl,

    Could you give us further details? Perhaps we could learn from your example. I hope that you’re all right!
