This is going to be about a local issue, but no less relavant to my on-going pontification about web best practice. I hope that you'll enjoy it, even if you don't enjoy living here on The Isle of Man, as I do! The Isle of Man nestles in between...
I've been interested in the semantic and accessible web for over five years, now, and the benefits I have developed on various web sites are clear to see. Semantic content is where web pages are 'marked-up' according to their structural significance...

Haven't been around recently, for which I apologise. However, an article on C|NET caught my eye this morning. While the keyboard and mouse are the ubiqutous devices to perform the input side of computing, many people can't use these due to their disability...
