W3C STANDARD COMPLIANCE
SITE UPDATE
Copyright 2008 www.tombraiderchronicles.com
[ March 14th 2008 ]
Our
online magazine has undergone major surgery on
four separate occasions since launching in 1997.
We have endeavoured to keep our format both user
friendly and pleasing to the eye with each upgrade,
a balance often challenging.
Providing
interoperability between clients is now our primary
objective as we prepare 5.0 of our magazine and
with the help of W3C - an international consortium
working together to develop web standards - we
are pressing on with preparing and recoding all
6,137 pages of our web site in order to be fully
W3C compliant.
To date,
our main homepage
and our Tomb
Raider Underworld microsite - comprising 106
pages and counting - is now fully W3C compliant
and interoperable between Internet Explorer, Firefox
and Opera along with many additional proprietary
web clients.
Our next
major overhaul will be to our Tomb
Raider Anniversary microsite, which we hope
to make W3C complaint by end of March 2008. Recoding
our entire web site in preparation for 5.0 is
a Herculean task which we anticipate will take
approximately three months.
While
this will not involve any visible changes pre-5.0,
the actual source code which make up our pages
will be completely rewritten in order to meet
W3C standards. During this time, we respectfully
request our readers provide valuable feedback
using our contact
form on any anomalies they may encounter while
perusing our content.
The introduction
of 5.0 of our magazine later this year will not
only meet strict W3C standards, but also maintain
standard output between multiple clients on multiple
platforms.
