As far as accessibility is concerned, nothing beats knowing
how to use
standards-compliant, semantic markup (HTML or XHTML). There
are plenty
of learning resources on the Web for the searching. A lot of
people seem
to like htmldog.com--I don't know too much about it, and if
it fails to
live up to its reputation I'm sure someone on the list will
let us know.
The great thing about semantic, accessible HTML is that it
is a lot
easier to learn and write than inaccessible HTML. Do you
have a
paragraph? Mark it up as a paragraph. Do you have an ordered
list of
items? Mark it up as an ordered list.
There are many, many examples (for inspiration, rather than
for copying)
examples of accessible sites available if you go through the
member
profiles at the Guild of Accessible Web Designers
(http://www.gawds
.org/listmembers.php).
Bets of luck and have fun.
