About Standardzilla
Standardzilla is developed and written by Canadian ⁄ Australian web developer Scott Gledhill. Topics mainly focus on web standards development, accessibility, usability issues and search engine optimisation.
During the daylight hours, Scott works for a large online media organisation in Sydney, Australia as a web standards consultant. At night it’s all about personal projects, writing for this blog and often developing and consulting for Molt:n Digital in Sydney, Australia.
These are my personal views and not necessarily those of my employers or anyone who may be presently standing behind me reading over my shoulder.
