Well, this is a good way of begin bloging in my INETA
Europe Community Blog! We have just launched our
August Newsletter, and we have made it with a new design and layout for that, appliying best practices of Web Standards and new Microsoft design and authoring tools:Microsoft Expression Studio

As Tim Berners Lee says, “making the web accessible
regardless of the user’s abilities is also a major
challenge and again the separation of form and content
helps. The increasingly multimedia world of information
targeted at human perception and the well-defined world
of data are two extremes that the web has to be able to
handle”

At these times, even Microsoft have bet on Web
accessibility with technologies as Expression Design
and Expression Web, INETA Europe wants to redefine the
way of getting their associates, their communities, the
big world of .NET developers and one of the first steps
this year is changing our Newsletter design and
structure, with a more accessible bulletin, with
semantic code, without layout tables and with all the
power Web standards provide to final Web users: a
common way of seeing all the info independently of the
Web browser used:

• Complete compatibility with Web standards: (XHTML and
  CSS).
• Semantic use of tables. Only for presenting data, not
  presentational issues.
• More possibilities to access our info. No matter
  which device you are using to read our Newsletter,
  Web standards work well with all, used in a correct
  way.
• Less (X)HTML code. That means faster loading to all
  our info and better use of your bandwidth usage!
• Better search engine ranking. Search engines give a
  better position to well-written content delivery
  through clean, well-structured and semantic markup.
• Easier to maintain. We separate clearly
  presentational and behavioral issues from content,
  which allows us to change the design without pain.

This is only the beginning. We are now thinking in a
new design and structure for our main site
(europe.ineta.org) and more improvements in the way we
relate with our main taskforce: you developer. Stay
connected and follows up in the next INETA Europe
newsletter.

If you want to express your oppinion about new
structure and design we will be very pleased to hear
you, at the end, we are here to provide a better
service for developer communityes in Europe and want to
give faster feedback with the use of the last trends in
Web develpment, in a way of permanent improvement
between our UG’s around INETA Europe.
