My name is Andrew Sutton, aka Shandy.

I am currently living and working in the UK within the garment industry as an IT specialist. This blog contains mainly IT related issues.

I was a Microsoft VB MVP for a couple of years (Apr 2004-Mar 2006) and was a vbCityLeader between April 2003 and June 2007.

It is only in the last week that I have discovered this rather useful little HTML tag, <acronym>. An example of its use is in the HTML word. Assuming you have a proper browser that supports this tag, hover the cursor over the HTML word. You should see the words HyperText Markup Language appear. I do this by specifying the letters HTML as:

<Acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</Acronym>. 
I think its a brilliant idea as I've lost count of the number of times I am reading text on a web site and I look at a TLA and have no idea what it stands for. Let's hope this is a feature more web sites will start to use !
