WaSP (Web Standards Project) interviews Jim Ramsey of the San Francisco Examiner talks about redesigning the site into a Web-standards compliant site. Jim is hooked on standards. He discusses how he took the plunge, how the code stays clean for a large and frequently updated site, and how designers could influence the non-technical decision makers to embrace standards.

If a newspaper can convert its site into a standards compliant site, then any business can do it as evident in the big site list of sites who use CSS for positioning instead of tables in their designs. This is a list of smaller sites who have also taken the plunge and deserve special mention because they’re not design, blog, or techie related where the bulk of the standards supporters tend to be.
