I've setup a new website specifically about OO Model Trains, enjoy!

The content is lifted without attribution form Wikipedia, the most prominent thing about it is a large ad for a MMF scheme. It is spam, and I can't imagine why Google have not ToSd it yet.

Are you refering to my site???? I have only used a small bit of Wikipedia's content, and I have left the attribution in place????

Plus it violates accessibility guidelines.

Accessibility standards? Never heard of em :0

I will try and make it a bit wider.

And thanks for all the help guys, it is really nice to see people actually like to contribute to other peoples projects...

In Ye Olden Days there was a free "Bobby Standard" tester, but I always used my own Bob Standard, i.e. running it past Bob, my bike mechanic, who is webmaster for Reading Talking Newspaper and is completely blind, he uses a screen reader.

A simple test is to view the page in lynx. Igf it still makes sense, you should be OK as far as screen readers go, especially if your code passes an [X]HTML 4.0 strict validator and has a correct Doctype. This will also help ordinary browsers witht he exception of IE6 and lower.

Tpyos always crop up at the worst possible moment! :~(

Which rather makes the test useless considering that IE6 is still the most used (I won't say popular...) browser. Regarding accessibility, another thing to consider is colour vision problems - probably more important in some ways than screen readers - there is a plug-in for Photoshop, Paintshop, Gimp etc, that will render a screen-shot into pre-defined images of how the page will be seen by those with colour vision problems - trouble is, I can't remember it's name!

Is there another plug-in for people with memory problems? ;o)

Why would we need that?

Michael Goodne

LOL!

Good one!

Lighten up Jerry. It was just a joke about memory problems.

(kim)

No, it was blatant spamming made to look like a joke, he could have made the same joke without quoting his domain.

Where did I quote my domain?

And anyway,

is a great site!!!! :)

And I'm sorry if I offended you Jerry, please feel free to post what you think I should have said in reply to my memory problems?
