I Love Led Zeppelin, Will Wheaton Nailed it, I can embed posts inline!

So as this post title states, this post is really three­fold: The first two points now, the last geek point at the end (scroll down). I have been a mas­sive Led Zep­pelin fan since I was weened off breast feeding.  I love to get the Led out, have all albums, col­lect rare vin­tage live record­ings (FLAC or other loss­less only please), run an old­school Car­ra­cho server for said live record­ings, and damn near cried when they had the reunion show in Lon­don and I didn’t have the money to make that epic jour­ney that would, for me, have been akin to an Islamic per­son return­ing to Mecca.  In short: I’m a big Led Zep­pelin fanatic.  In a recent tweet, Will Wheaton wrote: I’m cur­rently up to Phys­i­cal Graf­fiti, and have just dis­cov­ered that I don’t have the sound sys­tem, ’69 Nova, or long hair needed to really do this album justice. I com­pletely got what he was say­ing and twit­tered him back to please elaborate.  He was already on it, shortly after my reply he had already posted this and I thank the gods for another Zep­pelin soul such as this.  Very elegant… From: WWdN: In Exile: get­ting the led out Then [ ... ]

Quoting Another Blog Post

Often, I want to quote (embedded/inline/via a block­quote) all or part of another author’s post.  In fact, in an ironic twist, I will quote regard­ing quot­ing in this post to both show off how I think it ought to be accom­plished and to pose my question(s) (see end of this post).

It vio­lates WCAG 1.0 guide­line 13.1 that “link text should be mean­ing­ful enough to make sense when read out of con­text”. Imag­ine the page being pre­sented as a list of links, as many audio browsers, and some visual browsers can (e.g. Opera, Amaya) — a page with a lot of quotes would have lots of links labelled “wrote”, “wrote”, “wrote”. Includ­ing the title of quoted arti­cle gives more mean­ing­ful link text. Also, WCAG 1.0 guide­line 10.5 offers a hint for improve­ment: “until user agents (includ­ing assis­tive tech­nolo­gies) ren­der adja­cent links dis­tinctly, include non-link, print­able char­ac­ters (sur­rounded by spaces) between adja­cent links”.
