Add your LinkedIn alt tags, or they will call you out.

I'd like to encourage you to fill in the alt text on LinkedIn images.

LinkedIn, instead of properly just leaving the alt tag empty if no description, adds 
 
alt="No alternative text description for this image"

LinkedIn is really calling you out to the visually impaired community.

The Power of CSS1K

http://css1k.com is an interesting project about seeing how much you can accomplish, and still keep your css small.


I found some styles to be visually interesting:


http://css1k.com/#desktop
http://css1k.com/#turnaround
http://css1k.com/#swiss
http://css1k.com/#bookshelf
http://css1k.com/#toolbar
http://css1k.com/#stretchy
http://css1k.com/#photobox
http://css1k.com/#ev





But what really came out of it for me was how badly you can mess up a site's usability, using only  CSS. As I switched from theme to theme, it became tough to remember where I left off, and which themes I had seen. In this case, having the visited links styled differently would have been very useful on this site. (bing usability and visited links).
