Privacy and Accessibility Statement

Published June 30th, 2008. Last updated July 1st, 2008.

As author and owner, I hereby declare the following official statements as valid and of use by koew.net – naturally enlarged weblog:

Accessibility

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.

The following access keys are supported on koew.net:

Standards compliance

All pages comply with priority 1 guidelines of the W3 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. All pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. They use structured semantic markup. For instance, on the home page h1 tags are used for blog post titles. This enables JAWS users to skip to the next post using ALT+INSERT+1.

Links

Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. Many text-browsers/screen readers such as JAWS, Home Page Reader and Lynx can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list.

There are no javascript: pseudo-links. All links can be followed in any browser, even if scripting is turned off. No links open in new windows.

Visual design

This site use cascading style sheets for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page should still be readable. If not, please tell me what device you used.

This site uses only relative font sizes (the em-unit is used), compatible with the user-specified “text size” option in visual browsers.

Privacy
