I QUIT



The semantic error on your personal Weblog that presents the name of the Weblog as the HTML TITLE of every posting does two things:

  • It deters people from reading your postings, as they all have the same epithet as TITLE. (That’s an assumption.)

  • It prevents people from forwarding or retwitting your postings in certain contexts, for the same reason. (That’s a known fact, as someone has already complained about it to me.)

Change your template immediately, please, to place the title of each posting first in the TITLE element. I would not use the name of your Weblog anywhere in TITLE given the importance of that element.

The quintessential bus.

But also an embarrassing anachronism. Soon, all but two ceremonial Fishbowls will – justly – be decommissioned.

I was going to go for a big song and dance about this, but Aaron told me to “chill out.” Aaron who? Aaron Prevost, a blind teen who fixes cars (and drove a Porsche on a racetrack).

All very inspring, is it not? Except for this clunker:

If you like, you can read about Aaron in this edition of Wheels. Aaron will have someone read it to him.

Aaron confirmed (via Facebook, using Jaws) that he uses Jaws. He didn’t actually confirm he used it to read his own coverage, but it stands to reason.

The writer of the articles, Lorraine Sommerfeld, kept dodging the question of why she assumed a boy who can fix cars is somehow like Helen Keller and needs sighted help to read a newspaper.
