In this bonus episode of the NosillaCast, I’m joined by Paige Eissinger of the Views from the Coop Podcast talking about the O’Reilly book “Design Accessible Web Sites” by Jeremy Sydik<\/a>. It’s a great interview and a subject near and dear to my heart. I don’t think you have to be a web designer to enjoy this episode, Paige’s style is genuine and light hearted.<\/p>\n

Today is Friday, February 15th, 2008 and this is show #135. Wait a minute – FRIDAY? I thought the show only came out on Sundays??? Well, this week you’re getting a bonus show. I did a great interview today and I just couldn’t wait to get it out. Sit back and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Somehow I got on the mailing list for O’Reilly books, which isn’t a bad list to be on actually. In nerdom their books are some of the best. One day Mary Rotman of O’Reilly sent out a message about a new book called O’Reilly book “Design Accessible Web Sites” by Jeremy Sydik<\/a>. Well this was of great interest to me of course because of the topic, but unfortunately I’m not a web designer. However, my good friend Paige Eissinger IS a web designer. She’s also the host of the Views From the Coop podcast hosted atviewsfromthecoop.com<\/a> . We thought it would be fun if she read the book and then gave us a review of it in an interview.<\/p>\n

Paige notes:
\nWhy be accessible?
\nIt’s the right thing to do, It’s good business, Accessible sites are more usable for everybody, It’s the LAW<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed that, we sure had fun talking. After we stopped recording Paige was laughing at me because I said the conversation should be about 10-15 minutes! It was everything I could do to stop after 30. I think I’d like to have her back on the show again soon. Let me know what you thought of the show, drop me a line at allison@podfeet.com<\/a> or you can send an email to Paige at chicki.chicki@gmail.com<\/a>. Heck – email us both!
