Accessibility

I'm staring at this blog-in-transition and realizing that from an accessibility standpoint, it's a disaster. For example (I'm sure there are many), some folks who have visual impairments might want to use IBM Home Page Reader to have my page read aloud for them. Unfortunately, the way the page is set up, the reader would probably read the whole sidebar before getting to the blog content. I'll have to think about switching the columns or something similar. There's definitely not enough people thinking about this stuff. I'm as guilty as anyone, but it's never too late to consider. This is an outstanding resource on usability in general, with a specific link for web sites: Designing a More Usable World, courtesy of the Trace Center at the University of Wisconsin.
