		<title>Summertime whites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Readers from abroad might not be aware that England has been experiencing freak weather conditions for the past four days:

It&#8217;s not snowing
It&#8217;s not even raining
The sky is full of this pale yellow disc causing double-digit temperatures

In short, it looks like summer might be upon us. It&#8217;s not possible to be definitive because, like a Big [...]]]></description>

		<title>hAccessibility, one year on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Andy Mabbett reminded me that it&#8217;s been a year since James Craig and I published hAccessibility&#8212; a look at the accessibility problems inherent in some unsemantic design patterns used in some microformats.
The main problem is that the title attribute of the abbr element is misued to &#8220;hide&#8221; machine data, such as in this example.

		<description><![CDATA[My old mate and wrox refugee, Pete Fletcher, is an odd one. His latest project is &#8220;Sneezecount&#8220;, which sees him counting his sneezes, recording the time, date, location, relative strength of the sneeze and what he was doing at the time.
And I thought my Spam letters were pointless&#8230;

		<title>Stop using Ajax!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brothercake has a thought-provoking article Stop using Ajax! in which he argues

I&#8217;m not saying Ajax is bad, I&#8217;m saying it&#8217;s immature
I&#8217;m not saying never use Ajax, I&#8217;m saying don&#8217;t use it for the sake of it, and try to avoid it for now, instead sticking to accessible alternatives

		<title>The usability of Google sitelinks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were vaguely pleased with ourselves at work a couple of weeks ago when we noticed that a Google search on some of our keywords brought back our site as the first search result, and given us an extended entry that includes a matrix of links to pages within the site.

		<title>SharePoint and Web Accessibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I work in the legal sector, so occasionally read the industry magazine Internet Newsletter for Lawyers. Last month they had an article bigging up the wonders of SharePoint, so I wrote in to the editor asking why they hadn&#8217;t mentioned its accessibility problems. The editor asked me to write them an article; as their mag [...]]]></description>
