    PS: anyone with RSS feeds from AFL.com, the URLs have changed.
    Thanks for pointing that out. Not a good thing to do, changing the URLs of RSS feeds.

    Unfortunately, the current URL doesn't look so permanent either...

      Flash is required? Blech.

        The only stuff they make easy to find is the stuff you have to pay for.

        Process http://www.afl.com.au thru this website...



        ....and then check out the accessibility tab to see just how many rules it breaks.

        Feed it thru this one....

        W3C's easy-to-use markup validation service, based on SGML and XML parsers.


        ...to see that they can't even code properly - the home page has 153 syntax errors (that number will probably vary as the content varies)
        LOL............

        Try the same checks on redandwhiteonline.com.....

            Blame Des!

            More seriously, most of the issues would be with the message board and no-one expects an amateur website to get everything right. An amateur website doesn't have the same obligations to, fir example, provide access for those with a disability.

            RWO might not be perfect in the detail, but it does obey the major good design rules.

            But answer me this - which website is easier to navigate and find what you want?

              Is anyone else having trouble with the AFL website today?

              I cannot get it to load with either safari or firefox, although it was loading yesterday.

                Looks fine in IE7, but crap in firefox until I installed the flash plugin.

                  Flash is up to date. As mentioned it was loading previously so something else has changed, but it would appear that I'm on my own here.

                    I'm also using Firefox and the site loads fine on my PC.

                      I still cannot load the AFL home page, but for some reason I can now load the Swans site and it works fine.
