Re: Popular Accessible Sites Request

Davey,

    I'm curious to hear what site suggestions you've received.

    I teach workshops on the subject and one thing that people consistently
want to see (and who can blame them!), and that I have trouble delivering,
are good examples of accessible pages.

    One example that I usually use is the California State Portal:
http://www.my.ca.gov/state/portal/myca_homepage.jsp, which, yes, has some
problems - and, in fact, has gotten worse over time - but is otherwise a good
example of a 'fancy' site that does a pretty good job and, most importantly,
explicitly addresses accessibility.  (Hmm, I can't decide whether that should
be upper-case 'A' or lower-case 'a' accessibility.)  I should disclaim
upfront that I don't agree with the page's excessive use of 'spacer' images.

Cheers,
    --tyler
