http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,47054,00.html Web News Still Fails Blind Users "Not everyone watched the images of the recent terrorist attacks on television. Visually impaired individuals turned to newsgroups and select websites to find emergency information and vivid descriptions. By Kendra Mayfield." Cites Gregory Rosmaita's VICUG news site, quotes me and David Poehlman and other folks. Also of note is the following: "(Editor's note: At this time, Wired News does not conform in full to the Consortium's guidelines. Staff programmers are currently looking into updating publishing codes in order to make the site more accessible to the visually impaired.)" Yay for Wired News! Hopefully they will follow through on this. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Technical Developer Liaison, Reef http://www.reef.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://idyllmtn.com/ Online Instructor, Accessible Web Design http://kynn.com/+d201
