Ah, finally someone write a decent article on Accessibility (spelt right?).

I've often wondered about this, but with no guide and also no way to check my sites its been put off again and again.

Hopefully because I am using superb CSS and valid HTML most of my websites will come up ok with some fine-tuning, thanks again Dave.
I'm in the middle of transitioning our site into something more usable to the vision-impaired and really appreciate your efforts and willingness to share them with the world.

Thanks, Dave
