W3C Posts Results of XHTML Design Contest
The W3C hosted a contest to redesign its main web page using modern XHTML and style sheets (as opposed to table-based design, which was and still is quite popular). Winning entries, along with judging guidelines, have been posted. What I find interesting about the contest is that the judges explicitly looked at how well the entries looked on a huge variety of platforms and web browsers. So look at these entries not only as examples of good visual design for the web, but also as examples of how to use XHTML to design for legacy browsers, PDA displays, and accessibility demands.

Mosiac turns 10
The first web browser was released ten years ago last month. Only ten years! It's amazing that the web has become as pervasive as it has in such a short period of time.
