About

That Standards Guy is the online persona of Karl Dawson, a web developer living and working in Ipswich, England.

I'm a member of the Guild of Accessible Web Designers and the Web Standards Group and team member at Accessites—an awards site to recognise accessible and usable websites.

I specialise as a front-end developer and worry about the minutae of semantic (X)HTML and CSS, accessibility, microformats, typographic rhythm and grid design. I also care about the user experience and remind myself constantly of visitor site goals when working with clients and their aims.

That Standards Guy is proudly powered by WordPress using my own “StrictlyTSG v3.0” theme. Site Policies.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5

With a redesign of the admin screens courtesy of Jeffrey Zeldman and Happy Cog I couldn’t resist upgrading as soon as possible to this latest version—and very nice it is too. I could have done without the PHP memory_usage errors but we got there in the end at 1.56am Sunday morning. Download WordPress 2.5 here.
