Not even a Packer's helmet or a football (the Packers is a >football team, isn't it?? I'm totally sports-phobic except for Winston Cup >auto racing) to clue the reader who or what the story is about. I'm not sure I understand your critique, is it about "how they could have done the story better" or is it about "accessibility of the story"? It seems to me that saying they need a football on each page in order to make the site "accessible" is not really an issue of access but of editorial/artistic judgment and design criteria. I have no idea how I would teach web designers that they MUST include footballs on all football related web pages in order to create accessible pages. I am still completely lost and baffled by the concepts that people are trying to express about web sites being more accessible to those with cognitive disabilities or inability to read. -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@hwg.org> President, Governing Board Member HTML Writers Guild <URL:http://www.hwg.org> Director, Accessible Web Authoring Resources and Education Center <URL:http://aware.hwg.org/>
