Lynx Friendly

"Simplicity, carried to an extreme, becomes elegance."-- Jon FranklinWhat is Lynx? Simply put,it is a fast, low-overhead, text-only means of navigating the web that issometimes ignored by HTML authors when it doesn't have to be. In fact,methods now exist which allowLynx with imagemaps.The key to being Lynx Friendly is to be consciously aware of the HTML whichgoes into creating a web page and to ensure that those using a non-graphicalbrowser are not ignored. This does not mean abandoning the use of imagesaltogether. Far from it. For a page to be considered Lynx Friendly, theHTML must be non-exclusionary. That is, all visitors to a site should beable to see and/or access exactly the same information, regardless of theirbrowser.The Extremely Lynx web site offers an indepth source for learning more aboutLynx, why it is important to support, and tips on how to support it, therebyincreasing your visitors' appreciation of your own site. And isn'tthis what we all want?The Lynx Friendly logo is obviously moot to those on a non-graphical browser(unless you decide to include something like ALT="[ This Page is Lynx Friendly! ]" in the IMAGE tag), but it does signify to others that your pages are notgeared solely for either the Microsoft Explorer or Netscape "Enhanced"individuals.W3C recommends avoiding the use of ASCII art in the ALT tags of yourimages as they are not parsed well at all. For example, the old Lynx ASCIIimage I once used here would have been read as"comma comma caret period period caret comma comma".Not very pretty.Brandi Weed states that shecreated the Lynx logo based on a MUCK character by Conrad Wong (named,appropriately enough, "Lynx") and an original drawing by Jordan Greywolf ofthat character. She got permission to use this rendition then added the text"This Web page is Lynx Friendly!" to complete her logo: [ This Web Page is Lynx <b>Friendly</b>! ]

[ This Web Page is Lynx <b>Friendly</b>! ]

Feel free to use this logo, but -- as Brandi says -- "if you use the gif,it would be nice to give them credit as well."
