Getting my stripes

Well colour me yellow and black, I’ve just become the latest member of the web standards project! I’ve been an avid supporter of the web standards movement for over a year now—in fact, my first ever entry linked to their launch of Phase II. It’s a great honour to be a part of something I’ve supported for so long and I hope to become heavily involved in the Learn campaign, which aims to provide resources to developers who want to learn to use web standards effectively. I’m joining a truly talented team and I look forward to helping encourage web professionals to adopt standards and make the web a more interoperable place.
