Yahootinis before, and they are pretty good! Hopefully some of you will check out my workshop later today, since YPN is definitely being mentioned! And the Yahoo! notebooks in the swag bags are the best swag notebooks I have ever had! I am here, and I can say that I’ve had one (or three!) Yahootinis before, and they are pretty good!

All really easy tweaks, particularly for those using screenreaders that recite content aloud. Such as: * Text only browser look for links – so don’t use “here,” “this,” “more”… use links that are specific/intuitive ("my Flickr page") * When creating links, hyperlink more than one word – makes a better click target * Back buttons are key to good navigation... don’t open new windows without them * Make previously-read links change color (helpful for people with short-term memory issues) * Link treatment – underline them; don’t just change the color or they may be missed by people who are colorblind. * Color scheme – low contrast is bad for peole with low vision * Label images – don’t use image filename (ie 100_0478.jpg) b/c screenreaders read that vs. “Beautiful Alaska skyline" * Spellcheck – screenreaders will mispronounce typos when they read it out loud Most of this is just good design sense anyway!
