So you second Tina's opinion ... which is? Tina: Yet another example of "Do as I say, not as I do" to show off for people wanting to learn about accessibility? Tina's criticisms of http://ittatc.org are valid, "read more ..." occurring 5 times. That is important, but it is not a 508 violation. Section 508 for us and for ITTATC in particular is very important. If US federal agency sites were as well done and accessible as ITTATC I would be delighted. I agree, Bill, that contractors (large companies) doing Federal Sites do not get it. For examples check out http://jimthatcher.com/whatnot.htm and http://jimthatcher.com/whatnot2004. I wish the agencies did half as well as ITTATC. They don't. I stand by the idea if the federal agencies - everyone for that matter - did as well as ITTATC (did as they do) - then this world would be a much more accessible place and the comparative nits you are raising here would then become interesting. And yes Tina, I know that "accessibility isn't restricted to the blind." (You both missed the fact that there is one decorative graphic lacking alt-text.)
