Interview-Request: Andrew Ozz

[Jeffro]

I've stepped up my efforts a notch by actually sending Andrew an email specifically telling him what I'd like to cover on the show. I hope he accepts.

[Jeffro]

I've got in touch with Andrew via email but he will not be able to appear on WordPress Weekly due to personal reasons. However, he has agreed to answer a list of questions I send him via email. So, if you have a questions you would like to have me ask Andrew regarding the Visual editor or Javascript, start posting them here and I'll send Andrew an email in the next day or two.

oh i totally missed that last post, if it´s not too late i´m gonna post some questions tomorrow

[tekzt]

sorry jeff, i really have a lot on my mind, but i can´t concentrate on anything important when my girlfriend is here -_- my online life is pretty much dead right now because of that

[Jeffro]

Ok, I'm gearing up to send Andrew Ozz these questions, if you have one about the editor, please send them in ASAP.

I just saw Jeff's call for questions on Twitter, and mine was too long for there, so I'm posting it here :)

Why does the visual editor use "B" for "bold" and "I" for "Italic" buttons? This is really misleading for the user, as it actually marks the text up with

<strong></strong>

and

<em></em>

tags respectively, and the style sheet may not specify these styles for those tags.

Why not label them "emphasis" and "strong"? This would help promote semantic content to users, rather than encouraging them to use these semantic HTML tags just to make their text look pretty.

I don't have a question for Andrew but perhaps he could appear as a guest at some point in the future?

[Jeffro]

Andrew has sent me his replies to all of the questions I sent. I'll publish the interview later on today when I wake up (if ever!)

[Jeffro]

Ok, here is the interview at long last.
