Good morning and happy Monday. We're having an online event on Web Accessibility and I thought that some of you might be interested. The official announcement is below - it would be great to see you there.
Best, Sarah ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Announcing TechSoup's <http://www.techsoup.org> latest national online event on Web Accessibility Join us the week of January 24-28, 2005 in TechSoup's Community at <http://www.techsoup.org/webaccessibility/> If you re color blind and you've visited a site where you can't read the colored text on the colored background, or your job uses older browsers and you can't access some Web sites, you already know the challenges faced by many users who attempt to view inaccessible Web design. Designing an accessible Web site entails ability for all users no matter their disability, experience, or the software/hardware their using. Topics Include: *Defining Web Accessibility by its codes/laws and guidelines. *Explaining accessibility features for different types of users *Free Web Accessibility Audit: Give us your URL and we'll check your site for accessibility and recommend quick fixes. We will also show you what your site looks like to someone with a disability *Tools and web sites for automated code validation and accessibility checkpoints. * How far should your organization go towards Web accessibility? What is the minimum standard for accessible design? This event at <http://www.techsoup.org/webaccessibility/> is hosted and moderated by Susan Grossman of Finishing First, a development company specializing in accessibility. This week-long event will demystify Web accessibility. We will explain what it is, what the laws are, who it applies to, how to check for accessibility, and how to fix accessibility issues on your web site. Come join us and submit your web site for a free accessibility review with pointers on quick fixes for your issues. http://www.techsoup.org/webaccessibility/> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sarah Hawkins Associate Editor, TechSoup.org.
