Accessibility statement

Standards compliance

  1. It is difficult to know whether a page validates under the current standards because the validation tools, in many instances, simply ask you whether you've complied. Obviously, using such tools are less than optimal. Yet, there are no better at this time. Hence, all I can say is that I've made a good faith effort to comply with the standards in effect as of date of page creation.
  2. 2. As of that same date, those pages are Section 508 approved, complying with all guidelines of the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines.
  3. 3. Also as of that same date, all pages validate as XHTML 1 Transitional.

Navigation aids

  1. All daynotes pages have rel=last week, next week and home links to aid navigation in text-only browsers and screen readers. Netscape 6 and Mozilla users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always).
  2. The current page includes a calendar table with links to each weeks' posts. The table has a caption, a summary, and properly scoped header cells, to allow screen readers to render the calendar intelligently.
  3. The daynotes pages include a search box (access key 4).

Links

  1. There are no "javascript:" pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
  2. 2. There are no links that open new windows without warning.

Visual design

This site and all its archives use cascading style sheets for visual layout.

  1. The default stylesheet uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers. For example, if you're using Internet Explorer, you can make your default text size larger under the "View" menu, "Text Size", "Larger" (or "Largest").
  2. 2. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
