Noupe.com has released the first of a four-part series of posts highlighting useful hacks, tips and techniques for getting the most out of WordPress.
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.
