Below are some useful tips and links that can help to make your site accessible by all browsers, and better in general. This is not meant to be a complete guide to HTML, just a look at web design from an accessibility point of view. I have tried whenever possible to provide links to sites with more indepth information than what is here- please let me know of any sites that would enhance the usefulness of any of the sections below, or if I have missed any important topics in accessibility . Remember when reading this page that the advice provided is as general and thorough as possible to make it the most useful to the most readers. When enhancing the accesibility of your site, make sure to consider any special needs of your site, as well as the intended audience and available time and skill. The more you do to make your site accessible , the better, but if you can't follow all the recommendations, at least do what you can to follow those that make sense to your needs.

There are many issues when it comes to the operation of a motor vehicle. The US National Transportation Safety Board, in a somewhat reaching opinion, have recommended the banning using personal electronic devices (any cell phone usage, etc.) while driving (other than those that support the task of driving, like GPS Nav). Now the NTSB doesn't get to issue reports on driver safety at will but only as a recommendation after an an accident investigation. The reason they were involved in the investigation of this particular Missouri accident was because it involved school buses.

This is a brilliant book, written in a lively, engaging style that gets to the essence of experience design. This book should be required reading for designers: experience designers, human-computer interaction designers, user-interface designers, graphical designers, and industrial designers. It moves us beyond the basics and fundamentals toward the higher levels of human values and needs. The examples demonstrate how the ideas can be applied. An engrossing, important book.
