Re: [lojban] [WWWW] Goals for http://www.lojban.org/

["Robert J. Chassell" <bob@RATTLESNAKE.COM>]

.... I just want to make sure that everyone agrees with
the following goals for the main lojban page. ...

In my experience, the single best discipline for writing a good Web
page is to write so that the page works well for a blind person
listening to it. 

You may not expect any of your visitors will be driving a car, and
listening to pages, or to be permanently blind, but nonetheless, a
page that works well with the blind works well with the sighted.

* Structure the page so it makes sense when heard out loud.

* Arrange for good and clear navigation.

* Use meaningful ALT tags for all images.

You can check a Web page for handicapped access using the `Bobby'
