[bcab] Re: VI web designers

Hi

Links which are text act visually as text - they can bein the middle of a
sentence, or as a heading, for example.

Design is very subjective - something dead simple and clean looking has a
beauty of it's own. What I do is pick a style I like and code this into a
stylesheet and this makes every page look the same. I get sighted friends to
check it visually and ignore rubbish about not enough (any!) graphics.
