Checklists are all well and good, but by ticking the items off it doesn’t always mean your site will meet the grade. However Aaron’s written a very useful accessibility checklist that will come in very handy to anyone looking to create an accessible site.

Stumbled across an interesting concept the other day called net-guide, which is basically an accessible search engine that in turn lists and promotes accessible websites in its results.
The idea is good, but I’m not sure it’s implemented right. For example doing a search on sponge project, returns this site at the top result as you would expect. However searching for “sponge project” returns a completely random website that’s got nothing to do with sponges or projects, let alone Sponge Project, which in turn gives a 404 error!
Still, let’s hope they can iron out these glitches and produce a really top-notch product, because this could be great.

A landmark legal case based on website accessibility could come to fruition in the not too distant future if various stories are correct. Seems like Target in the US is being sued by the National Federation of the Blind (the US equivalent of our Royal National Institute for the Blind).
