The links on this blog were indicated by being in a different colour but you’re right, they weren’t quite distinct enough from the main text. I’ve fixed that and now links are underlined too. Please bear in mind that this is a new blog and it’s not quite 100% there yet, but thanks for the reminder that I have to practice what I preach!

It is odd that in an article about accessibility you have links that are not recognisable as links until you move your mouse over it.

Accessibility rules would suggest that your links should be underlined or otherwise obvious without the need to mouse over them.

I don’t think you can ever cater for all people and nor would you expect to. But you can make a website accessible to as many people as possible by removing unnecessary technological and other barriers.

Great insight…

I have one big problem with this..how can you ever cater for all people from all walks of life? I am going to read up on the site you suggested.

Thanks for the advice
