    I decided to comment of Robbie's bookmark - How to Make Your Website More Accessible | Web Design | InstantShift - www.instantshift.com/...e-your-website-more-accessible.

    I am responsible for my school's website and I know how difficult it can be to make sure every webpage is accessible. It involves much more coding but is so worth the extra work. If webmasters get in the habit of adding accessibility code to their sites then it will become the norm rather than the exception. The website that Robbie posted has some excellent points and suggestions to make your site accessible. Thanks Robbie!

    This website reviews Web 2.0 products and websites and rates them on accessibility. According to the website, "This resource aims to help those making decisions about their use of freely available 'Web 2.0' interactive and collaborate e-learning tools." The website is organized by type of disability. It lists what tests were performed on the Web 2.0 product and also the results of the test.

Alex's Web Design Blog - Colour Blindness and Web Design - 2 views

    Before this week's reading, I never considered color-blindness as a physical disability. I don't know why - my father-in-law is color-blind so I am very aware of the problem. I chose this bookmark because it contains some simple steps that can be used to make your website easier to read for someone with color-blindness. Since the very definition of Web 2.0 involves user created content, blogs, website, etc. - I feel that it is very easy to follow the simple steps described in this blog posting when participating in Web 2.0 techniques.
