By way of Robin at Perfect, I had a look at the LDYS response to Cameron’s recruitment site. I despair. Really, I do. Guys? I’m not a techie, I have problems with anything beyond basic html when I’ve got a reference guide, but that’s awful. I could knock up better in about half an hour using M$ Notepad alone.

  • Google has nothing to work with
  • there’s no ‘alt’ text on the image
  • there’s no ‘title’ text on the image
  • there are no meta tags for search engines
  • there’s no text for search engines…

Can one of the LibDem readers of this blog go fix it for them? I’ll be sat at my desk hitting it repeatedly with my forehead. Good idea, but so badly done they may as well not have bothered.

Update: by way of comments, I’m pointed at LibDems4Cameron.co.uk which is much better, and rather amusing:

Ten reasons to vote for us (because we can count past six)

Update 2: Given the large number of referrals I’m getting from a private LibDem forum, I’m guessing someone has read this. Given that most of the problems have been fixed in a rather inelegant way, I’m guessing someone listened to my request. As pointed out in the comments, it would be much better to reformat the page so it’s actually a proper page rather than text in a .jpg, dial-up users (like me) would like it as well. Still, the humour is good if nothing else.
