To this end, I personally always affix the W3C validation logos (currently
XHTML 1.0 and CSS) to all my web pages and make the ones on my web site (s)
home pages clickable for access.
In addition, I have included links of this nature to the XML Validator
(XML.com), two Lynx (text only) viewers and BOBBY (accessibility) checker
facilities on the mini-web site accompanying my signature block.
