Mademoiselle Satine

An ad campaign tells us how different you can be when you wear glasses. I really love the idea of the ad (been wearing glasses for over a decade now) and think the little illustrations are cute. What I find really disheartening was the picture of the woman. Glasses can make a man successful in his 'profession', a woman may only alter her sexual availability. We have guys who go from being "butchers" and "hell's angels" to "artists" and "fashion designers". A woman with glasses can go from "easy" catch to "hard" catch.
(I send in this ad to the sociological images blog yesterday.)

I sent in my first support request on the 24th of May and asked if DW can make changes in their HTML FAQ. It's already very extensive but I found out the other day that you can make your journal a lot more accessibility friendly if you use certain tags. Screenreades can for instance pick up the meaning of < em > and < strong >.

hope did the HTML entry on accessibility.

DW said they will pass the suggestion along.
