Accessibility for All?. We track the spread of the Olympic Web site accessibility story, and offer some pointers. [WebReference News]

Being as I'm a fan of Zeldman, I'd normally be up in arms about this, but since the page you're reading right now hasn't yet been made standards-compliant, I'll take it easy.  But, for crying out loud, the only way to make a page this unaccessable is to do it deliberately.

After having brain contractions over the past couple of days, I've finally got the macro working that puts the date for each day of the weblog in the DayOfWeek, the Xth of MonthName, Year format.  Yes, a totally useless way to display the date.  It's the process I was interested in.

I started out trying to modify the code and ideas of Simon Fell, but couldn't make the leap to get it to work.  Then I stumbled over this technique from Jake Savin.  If you want to learn something about manipulating Radio, check out what these guys have published.

If I can figure out the proper syntax for the Case statement, I'll modify the code (posted here, if you're interested).
