While I’m figuring out whether or not to use some fancy PHP Content Management System, I figured I might as well do a quick check of the site to see how accessible it is. Accessibility basically boils down to “Can everybody who visits your site get to the content?” That includes people with disabilities such as blindness. Cascading Style Sheets go a long way towards increasing site accessibility, but there are a few good habits that I’d missed. Due to my intensely fragile ego, it’s important to me that everyone can see my contributions to the Web. If you are concerned about accessibility, you might want to put Bobby to use. It will go over a URL and tell you what basic guidelines your site is missing. And that’s why there are one or two minor tweaks to the site.

This is the largest news item I’ve put on the site in ages, and I just realized that it’s main purpose is to explain why the site menu uses hyphens now. It must be one of those days.

Thanks to Craig Wisti of Globalhonk, coolnamehere is alive and healthy. I had some serious problems with the Web host SWHU, now I’m using Spidersaid, and things are much smoother. Thanks, Dad =-)

Oh, and I’m looking at breaking everything by getting postNuke installed as the CMS for the site.

I know, the Flash menu is gone. I know, I said I wanted to have fun. I know, I said accessibility was not a concern for me. I know, I’m fickle.

Now go away so I can change my mind again.

I’ve spent the last few days playing with GoLive and a few minutes today with LiveMotion. One of the results of the playing is the little flash menu you see overhead right now. I know, it’s crappy. What do you expect? This is my first-ever attempt.
