In keeping things accessible around here (The W3C accessibility checklist,
the U.S. Federal Government Section 508
accessibility guildelines, stuff like that) I've implemented the
following access keys (under Microsoft Windows, it's ALT
-accesskey and
on an Apple Macintosh, it's CTRL
-accesskey), as commonly
used:
The Access Key Definitions for The Boston Diaries
Access Key | What the Access Key accesses |
1 | The link to the main page |
4 | The search box in the sidebar |
9 | Feedback to me |
0 | This very page |
Also, in those browsers that support it, you can use the tab key to get
to the search box and the email notification box in the sidebar
(although at least one browser will put the two advertising boxes in the tab
rotation so you may need to hit tab a few times).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
