Malevolence With A Smile

If you like anything at all about the look of Bag and Baggage, you can thank Matt Round, long-time proprietor of the highly commended Malevole blog and of Malevolent Design, which now has its own "slightly more serious" blog. As I learned firsthand working with Matt on B&B, he has a really impressive grasp on W3C compliance and accessibility standards, in addition to a wide-ranging talent for design and a wicked sense of humor. Along with Mark Pilgrim, Matt opened my eyes to the fact that what a Web site looks like is just the beginning:

Don't be fooled into thinking 'access for all' is about grudgingly catering for a few disabled people – many users are affected, including those with minor visual/motor impairments, anyone using a PDA or mobile 'phone to browse, search engines, 'spiders', and numerous others.

In addition to being a joy to work with, fun to read, and providing invariably tasty eye-candy, Matt is generous with good advice too, as his recent post about gmail precautions demonstrates. Check him out. Tell him the California girl sent you.

Robert Scoble: "Yes, Engadget and Gizmodo do have that kind of power." If you're busy preparing your proposal to answer the "what do the lawyers say?" question at the BlogBusinessSummit, don't miss Scoble's whole post, as well as these pointers from Charlene Li (to which I would add the update to Scoble's manifesto, if I could only find the link). Also, MO'CC unpacks Li's/Forrester's Sample Blogger Code Of Ethics. (No. 9's not my fave, but ok.)
