Jacob Nielsen is so wrong its unbelievable. He has done so much damage to the accessibility movement. I recently read a good article on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newwebpick.com/_interview/theory.php?theory=theory_060903150820.html">New Web Pick</a>. I would recommend it for any web designer with a graphic design background. Accessibility is not about negativity. Reports like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6210068.stm ">this</a> from the BBC are helpful to show that more knowledge about accessibility is needed - but comments like “Building dull, technically compliant websites is easy but building commercially successful sites that are also accessible is not,” (Mark Gristock, Foviance) are truly false and unhelpful. Nicolo I think you have a great balance between accessibility and design. I love the huge header on photomatt. I'm glad you are confident enough to have used such a graphical interface that makes such a positive impact. Nice one. I would also like to add that I think your work is superb. Keep it up and don't let that passion die... Nice interview - I have a few comments:

I love the huge header on photomatt. I’m glad you are confident enough to have used such a graphical interface that makes such a positive impact. Nice one.

I would also like to add that I think your work is superb. Keep it up and don’t let that passion die…

In the recent Fadtastic interview you discussed how nerve-racking the process was, so we won’t get into that, but what kind of feeling did you get knowing your work would be enjoyed by the millions visiting Matt’s blog from their Wordpress Dashboards?
