Hmmm, Flash.
My ISP's (012.net.il) has a Flash-based site which does not have a
non-Flash-enabled version. Thus, I cannot view it on Linux because I
don't have the Flash plug-in installed. Maybe that's their way of saying
that they don't support Linux, or that they require Flash, but I find it
annoying.
While Flash looks nice, a site that is written in bare HTML without
Flash, Java, Javascript, Dynamic HTML and other beasts is much more usable
IMO. I didn't do too much serious web-design lately, but I try to stick to
the bare-essentials as well as make the site friendly to the blind. I
recently discovered that some of my images in some older pages of my
homepage did not contain the "ALT" tag, which irritated me as I added it
manually. Back then, I was not quite conscious of the blind issue.
