Flash powered websites can be a challenge to use at the best of times, but spare a thought for those using devices that don’t support it, and more so where no alternative – such as an HTML version – is offered either.

Next Monday, 30 November, is International Blue Beanie Day, a day for web professionals to show their support for web standards.
If you’d rather not wear a blue beanie – and this isn’t exactly beanie weather we’re having here – you could always consider adding an illustrated blue beanie to your Facebook or Twitter [...]
