Coding
I have coded this site in XHTML and CSS. This means that:
- most of the web page coding meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
- file sizes are reduced
- the site should download more quickly
- it should be much easier for people with screen readers to access the content
- search engines should find the site infinitely more negotiable.
Those parts of the site that describe Christmas greetings and the Jebel Hash Reunion of 2003 date from an earlier era.
Alternative text
The images on my website have alternative text attributes, often known as 'alt' text. This means that when an image is used on a web page, information describing its content is also described in the alt text. As a result, the image can be understood by text browsers and assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Readable and resizable fonts
You can control the font sizes on the screen by using your web browser.
You can change the text size in Microsoft Internet Explorer by selecting View > Text size followed by your preferred text size from 'Smallest' to 'Largest'. The default setting is 'Medium'.
You can change the text size in Mozilla Firefox by selecting View > Text size followed by 'Increase' or 'Decrease'. To return the text size to its default setting, select 'Normal'.
