Website Accessibility is Still Misunderstood

My post about website accessibility is no different but in this case it was the blatant ignorance of some comments on an article I read about accessibility that spurred me into writing the post. Although my blog is therapeutic for my mental outpourings I hope this post also gives a slightly different angle to the issue of website accessibility - one that brings real advantages to the actual websites and not just those who are perceived to benefit from accessibility.

Birmingham: It’s Not Shit is a site to rectify all the wrong done to Birmingham, by the media, by history and by its current paid marketeers (who would have you believe it’s all chainstore shopping and canalside living). As well as the news/blog there are videos and weird interactives (go make the Rotunda dance).
