How to make the weblog more accessible

[Al Mac]

After applying some of the lessons of Mark Pilgrim's tutorial on making 
your site accessible to people with a variety of disabilities: blind; can't 
use hands; older people who have trouble with color combinations; stuck 
with 56 k modem (weblogs often demand bandwidth greater than available to 
ordinary users), you can have your website evaluated by a service to see 
how accessible it really is, and give you a hit list of areas in need of 
further improvement.  Here are some resources that might help with this 
discussion.
