WELCOME to the Expression Web Mailing List website.
What is Expression Web?
Expression Web is the successor to FrontPage and is the web editor I have chosen
to use.
"Build your Web sites your way. Microsoft® Expression® Web gives you all the tools you'll need to produce high-quality, standards-based Web sites the way you want them. Take advantage of the best of dynamic Web site design, enabling you to design, develop, and maintain exceptional standards-based Web sites."
"Create CSS-based, XHTML 1.0 Transitional-conforming Web sites by default. Work better across browsers, simplifying deployment and maintenance. Configure flexible schema settings to support all combinations of HTML, XHTML, Strict, Transitional, Frameset and CSS 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1 plus browser-specific schemas. Validate your site with compatibility and accessibility reporting and against Section 508 and W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)." ~Microsoft~

- Change Subject headings when appropriate. Don't respond with Re: Digest
#
- No Flaming (personal abusive attacks intended to incite, degrade, make fun
of another person or their ideas with no positive outcome.
- No Attachments. This list does NOT allow attachments.
- This is not so much a rule as something to save time yours and the list's.
If when asking for advice about a problem post your url.
- Site Critiques: If you're requesting a review of your site
the subject line should look like this: Request Site Critique: www.yoursite.com
(Name of your site) The very first thing in the E-Mail body should be your URL
so we know where to find your site followed by details of what you want from
the critique, i.e. full critique, browser check, trouble shooting, etc. Do not
generalize. Help is too general.
When giving a critique, remember that it is constructive criticism not destructive criticism that is being sought by the requester. Also, you should strive to ensure the URL of the site remains in your critique response. If you are going to give a critique give one, "The site is nice" or "The site is not nice" is a waste of time for everyone.
