Lets get it on

Ok, if we do this we have to be civilized about it. No politics, no pushing your guy, don�t even say who you are for. Now, I want people to do some usability testing on http://www.georgewbush.com and www.johnkerry.com, then come back here and post your thoughts and results. As the moderator, I�m reserving the right to pull posts that are not about usability or accessibility. Have fun.

Monkey see, monkey….

Does anybody know anything about the accessibility of online survey products like Surveymonkey.com and Zoomerang.com? I’ve looked at a sample survey on Surveymonkey and could not even tell if it was a true HTML form, let alone if it was accessible. For giggles, I sent it to a visually impaired friend and asked her what she thougt of it. To my surpise she liked it alot. So dispite not being standards based, it still seems accessible. Would you use it for a small audience that may include some people with disabilities?

New Beginings

Hi friends, welcome back to Curb Cut. I’d like to thank Christopher for all the wonderful work he has done on this site and wish him the best of luck as he moves onward and upward. That said, he still has his login to the site, and we hope he will post as often as he can.

Those of you with a great attention to detail will notice the site has changed ever so slightly. As I will now, hopefully, be the main content provider, the site’s interest will shift more toward universal design for the web, but will still include distance learning. Check this space on Tuesdays and Thursdays (for now) for links and discussion on the above topics as well as a opportunities to take part in a few projects I would like to see done by our community for our community. Thanks again. -jc

Future Curb Cut Posts

I’m still around and thought I would do a dump of all the links I had in my bookmarks folder that were intended for future publication on curbcut. Here they are are semi-organized, unfiltered and uncommented upon, straight from my bookmarks.html file. There are some gems in here, but you may have to dig to find them. On the other hand, if you’re thinking of starting your own blog- some of these may be a good place to start…
