How does this differ from DocType? Is that more for designers? – Casebash Jun 2 '10 at 3:21

Well, it's right on their homepage (doctype.com): "Doctype is a free question and answer site for web designers. You can ask questions about CSS, HTML, web design and email design". I think the distinction is obvious. – Dan Dumitru Jun 3 '10 at 10:45

Hmm, this suggestion looks like something I suggested. See here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6307/… – Master Of Disaster Jun 6 '10 at 1:57

I'm putting this in as an alternative to Jeff's question about <p> tags inside <b> tags. It's similar, but more specific to asking how it might affect search engines. – Dougal Campbell Jun 3 '10 at 13:55

	too broad, through the webserver (serverfault) ? or programming language (stackoverflow) ? or hosting provider (web service). – Evan Carroll Jun 1 '10 at 21:16
	When a question could belong in a variety of different sites, it is worthwhile having one question to discuss the various options – Casebash Jun 2 '10 at 3:27
	SEO issues can be subtle here. Good question. – John Biddle Jun 9 '10 at 20:11

	Or just, "What email addresses should every site have? (contact@, spam@, ...)" which implies the rationale part of it, which then includes any conventions that necessitate them. -- Look at me, I can't stop editing even when the question doesn't exist yet. :( – Roger Pate Jun 2 '10 at 21:33
	It's not really specific to webmastering, though... It's almost more of an email administration question, don't you think? – Dougal Campbell Jun 3 '10 at 14:16

If we allow questions about DDOS below - we should allow questions like this as well. – Good Person May 29 '10 at 18:03

It's really a bit of a mix of SO and SF - there are obviously things you can do on the server, but also ways to improve code etc – DisgruntledGoat Jun 4 '10 at 23:30

Everybody else has voted 'yes' on this, but I'm more tempted to vote 'no'. I'm abstaining until I give it more thought. I suppose the topic is broad enough to encompass it, though. – Dougal Campbell Jun 3 '10 at 13:50

	This is kind of silly, how could anyone answer such a question without knowing the content of the site? – Master Of Disaster Jun 6 '10 at 3:52
	@Kinopiko - that's kind of the point. I originally intended it as an off-topic question (before the vote reset), but it might not be well worded after the reboot. – ChrisF Jun 6 '10 at 11:02
	Sounds like [visitor retention] - a tag that I'd expect to hold a lot of interest for this group. – Kara Marfia Jun 15 '10 at 14:00

It's too vague. – Master Of Disaster Jun 6 '10 at 2:22

Per Wikipedia, "A growing number of countries around the world have introduced legislation which either directly addresses the need for websites and other forms of communication to be accessible to people with disabilities, or which addresses the more general requirement for people with disabilities not to be discriminated against." That makes it relevant. Perhaps a good answer would be to point to the Wikipedia article or some other to cover the material? – John Biddle Jun 9 '10 at 20:32

This should be off-topic - it's a programming issue. – ChrisF May 30 '10 at 13:16

@ChrisF: How do I know it's a programming issue? I'm a pro webmaster looking for the "best way to limit access." Could turn out to to be a configuration file or an application I can run. Sounds on topic to me. – Robert Cartaino May 30 '10 at 20:48

Not sure why this gets 2 off-topic votes. Blog user could easily be administering his own site and is asking this question from an SEO perspetive. What's not to like? – John Biddle Jun 9 '10 at 20:08

It encourages your visitors to share your blog post, I like social bookmarking links. – Farhad Jun 15 '10 at 10:36

@egza - you don't need to answer the questions, We're using the example questions to define the site - not to get answers. – ChrisF Jun 15 '10 at 10:38

okay, I got it. :) – Farhad Jun 15 '10 at 15:18
