Standards compliance
- All pages on this site use structured semantic markup.
- All pages validate as XHTML 1.1 Transitional
- As far as possible all pages try to adhere to the accessibility guidelines set out by the WCAG
Links
- Many links have title attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article).
- Whever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page.
- Link text is never duplicated; two links with the same link text always point to the same address.
- There are no "javascript:" pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off.
Images
- All content images used in the home page and all archives include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
Visual design
- This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.
- If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
