Accessibility Statement
From the beginning, this site has been designed with accessibility in mind. The following are some examples of ways in which I have attempted to make this site easier to use:
Images and Links
Every image on this site has an ALT tag that describes the image. This is important for people who have images disabled or are using screen reader software.
Wherever possible, I have included descriptive TITLE tags on links. This provides information about the link and where it goes. Links are also done in context as much as possible so they make sense. You will not see any “click here” links on this site.
Font Considerations
The fonts on this site are handled in EM units. This means they can be easily resized within your browser. If the fonts were sized in PX (pixel) units, as they are on many sites, they might not scale properly, if at all. In Firefox and Internet Explorer you can resize the text in your browser by going to the “View” menu and choosing “Text Size.”
I have also chosen to use fonts that are common to nearly all computers, Trebuchet and Arial, to ensure that the site looks the same for the widest possible audience.
Web Standards
This site has been carefully created using valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.1 code, as defined by the W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium). Adhering to these standards results in cleaner, more efficient code and means that this site is more likely to display as intended in different web browsers and operating systems, especially in the future.
I encourage you to use a modern, standards-compliant web browser since they have much better support for current web standards and offer a better web browsing experience. Such browsers include Firefox, Opera and Safari.
