It was one of the first page I ever made, and it&#8217;s biggest problems were accessibility and manageability because it was based on a table for layout purposes. Until last weekend I only made minor enhancements, but now I have completely dropped the old code and begun from scratch, only keeping the content. I have waited to do the redesign until the percentage of people using Netscape 4.x browsers dropped well under one percent, so that I can rely on recent web standards and extensively use <abbr title=\"Cascading Style Sheets\">CSS<\/abbr> for layout purposes. Not supporting Netscape 4.x versions may seem as if I erected a barrier, however, dropping support for this browser dinosaur actually tears down other, more significant barriers: it makes the page more accessible for people using screenreaders, <abbr title=\"Personal Digital Assistants\">PDA<\/abbr>s and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing about which I am not at all sure so far is the design of the page. It is functional and not exactly ugly, but it is also a bit boring&#8230; However, using CSS the design of the site can be modified without changing the <abbr title=\"HyperText Markup Language\">HTML<\/abbr> code of the site, as is most wonderfully demonstrated in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csszengarden.com\/\" title=\"demonstration of the power, flexibility, and beauty of css\">css Zen Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Any feedback about the new code and the new design is very welcome!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~frers\/index.html\">old page<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~frers\/indexneu.html\">new page<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/userpage.fu-berlin.de\/~frers\/index.css\" title=\"want to make one of your own or change this? please do so!\">new style sheet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the way to my brother&#8217;s wedding I&#8217;ve been recoding the root page of my site.
