Accessibility Features
To make this site more accessible, I have taken some extra pain to code in some extra stuff that might help improve the accessibility of this web-site. Comments and suggesstions are always welcome. If you feel that I might have missed something while you were browsing through this site, I will be obliged to fix it, if it is feasible for me to do so.
I am using CSS to define the layout of the website. If you disable style sheets in your browser, you should be able to see the text only version of the website. I am using JavaScript to allow you to do the same as well. as well as allowing for a larger text only version, and allowing you to generally choose the style sheet that you want to use. I am also using cookies to store which style sheet you preferred during your last visit.
Using CSS for doing my layout also means that I can stop using images directly in the pages for the layout of the website, and separate the content from the design, thus allowing for you to read only the content in a text only version, and allowing me to use images for layout via the style sheet.
I am trying to follow if not all, most of the WAI guidelines. Please inform me if I am missing something that might help.
Any images used on the page as content itself is limited and few, and mostly used in the tutorials sub-section of the extra-extra[x-tra] section. If an image is used directly in the content, I am following the guidelines to give proper text descriptions. If the image cannot be described by the alt attribute of the image, I have provided a detailed description of the image in text format. This description can be accessed by the link next to the image. The link is a capital D enclosed in square brackets like so [D].
The only thing I feel I have to apologize about is not giving a textual e-mail address or a mailto: email address link. The reason for doing so is that in my previous design, I did give it, and soon my mailbox was flooded with spam. Automatic e-mail extracting spam engines are roaming the internet, and its no joke to receive hundreds of junk mail everyday. I am however giving the e-mail id as an image with the email id in text, and yes I am describing it, but using sentences instead of the id itself so for jhondoe@somemail.com, I am describing it as my email id consists of the text jhondoe followed by an commercial at sign followed by the text somemail followed by a dot, which is followed by the text com. I hope this will fool the spam engines, else i might have to discard that email id and create a new one as well.
