Accessibility issues

Have you been reading Mark Pilgrim’s 30 days to a more accessible weblog? You should be, it’s got some really good stuff. For example, in the last two days he’s had links to Lynx viewer, which lets you take a quick look at how your site renders to someone using Lynx, and to VisCheck which will let you take a peek at how your color scheme would work for someone who has certain types of colorblindness. Good tools to keep on hand.

    Good grief. So many things needed tweaked or replaced or just fixed this week that I only really had time to put out fires up until today.
