I think it also bears saying that you can design sites that degrade
well in older browsers - I have a personal site (littleblueeasy.com,
find the transformation log if you want to see. Be forewarned,
however - topless pics of me!) that I think looks really good in
newer browsers. In older browsers (or just turn off CSS to see the
degraded version), it still works great, even though it's a lot
plainer.
(BTW, if anyone who does visit has problems, please let me know so I
can fix them!)
Developing a site that looks how you want it in new browsers and
degrades well requires some forethought about the arrangement of
divs, etc. Often you prioritize information on the page: what's most
important, for example...
Designing to standards and then kicking out the people who don't
support standards misses the POINT of designing to standards. A good
standards-compliant site should work in almost all browsers, even if
it doesn't LOOK perfect in some of them! :)
