What is Vitamin?
The web has undoubtedly entered a new and exciting phase. Designers, developers and entrepreneurs are energized, refueled and producing some mind-blowing projects. The buzz is most definitely back! Vitamin is a brand new online magazine dedicated to that new web industry.
Vitamin will inspire you, teach you, advise you and sometimes test you with its in-depth features, audio interviews, training sessions and reviews.
It's updated every week, and it's free! So whether you just want to get dirty with the code or plan to topple Google with your next cunning web app idea, Vitamin is your new best friend.
I did pretty much the same.. over a month ago. I offered to contribute an article, but received no response.d11wtq wrote:I've just sent them a question to ask if they want some guys from the PHP community to contribute a little content since it doesn't look to have grown massively thus far. I'd love to dig in and write a few articles and I guess some other people may do.
Well, if they would respond to emails *at all*, they definitely could at least increase their overall count.Moocat wrote:To piggyback on the last comment, new articles do seem to be pretty slow, but they are regular (once a week). I'd think with 11 authors on the site though they could manage a few more than that I dare say.
The links aren't cocky. They are there to show your users that you've taken the care to be compliant (which brings about accessibility).jayshields wrote:Can I just take this thread slightly off-topic (because I found webstandards.org through thinkvitamin.org) by saying why do websites go out of their way to give a standards compliancy link when they aren't valid?
http://www.webstandards.org is one.
http://www.everah.com is two I've seen just today.
Why not just take the link off and still try to keep it compliant. Personally, I think the links are cocky, and without the website being valid I think it's a bit embarrassing.
Maybe cocky was a strong word. Trying not to blow it out of proportion, it's like telling someone you're going to win a race, and then losing it, or telling someone you've already won the race, but you didn't. Why not just let them find out who won the race themselves if they're so interested?d11wtq wrote:The links aren't cocky.

Some sites are tricky to keep compliant. Blogs for example and anything where the public can post information pretty quickly end up with some wort of hiccup.
