There’s this sound that C & I make if we make jokes about “levelling up” in something or another. Sort of a videogame sound, the sort of thing that goes with: “Elf needs food badly.” Imagine that I have made that sound now.
By way of (and including) Joe Clark, three sorts of “levels” in web-goddess-hood:
Reading through them is a bit like reading that piece of McGovern’s that I linked to recently: a good reminder of how far I’ve come these last few years.
In HTML and CSS I’m a strong 5, and every so often I reach up past, when I’m feeling particularly brainy. True story: on my birthday a couple of years ago, my assistant at the time gave me a card in which the handwritten greeting included tags. I looked at it, laughed, and then said, “but I think that should’ve been a header instead of a strong.” She replied: “I knew you’d say that.”
With accessibility, I’m tiptoing up against level 5. (I paid to take myself to SXSW, and will probably be doing so with WebVisions. OTOH, I’m the one with the day job, and I’d forgotten about the Accessify forum.) Which maybe means that it’s one of my “opportunities for improvement,” as the annual eval would say.
One is tempted to try to write “levels of blog knowledge” and aim for something equal in snarkiness to Joe’s piece….
