Standards Compliance
All pages throughout this web site comply with priority 1 guidelines of the W3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines.
All pages throughout this web site validate as XHTML 1 Strict. They are structured using semantic markup. For example, an H1 tag is used for the title of each page, H2 is used for subheadings, H3 for tertiary headings, etc. In particular, this enables JAWS users to skip to the next post using ALT+INSERT+2.
All table cells are explicitly associated with their corresponding header cells to aid screen readers in rendering them in a clear and meaningful way. Where applicable, all tables contain captions and summaries.
Navigation aids
All pages have rel="home" links to aid navigation in text–only browsers.
All pages have a "skip navigation" link to allow text–only browsers and screen readers to skip directly to the content of the document.
A Site Map is available which contains links to all of the pages within the web site.
Links
Whenever possible, link text is written to make sense out of context to aid browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) that allow the user to browse a list of links culled from a page. Many links contain additional descriptive information in the title tag.
There are no links that contain Javascript in their href attributes. All links can be followed by any browser, regardless of whether scripting is turned off. All links that open new windows inform the user within the contents of the title attribute.
Images
All images include descriptive text provided through the alt attribute.
Design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. If your browser does not support style sheets, the content of the page is still readable.
This site uses only relative font sizes to ensure compatibility with text resizing features in visual browsers.
