Meg Hourihan writes about a crime many of us are guilty of: forgetting that not everyone has high speed 'net access.
Lately I've grown lazy around the issue of page size and images. When designing something for a client or posting a picture to my own web site, I'd often think to myself, "everyone I know has a high-speed connection now-a-days" and with little more than a cursory glance at the file size, I'd post or design in happy, dial-upless oblivion.
After a month of low-bandwidth, high-expense access in Paris, Hourihan offers her observations and some tips for dealing with lower bandwidth users. In short: use standards and publish your content in multiple formats (like RSS).
