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.

Internet Explorer 8 readiness kit

Catching up with the rest of the browsers, Microsoft have released the IE8 readiness kit. Early days but no extra CSS3 support above what IE7 provides. I can’t help yawning but so long as Visual Studio doesn’t add the version targeting meta tag (to put it into IE7 rendering mode) by default I’ll be happy.
