Linda et al,
I finally got to look at the site. I'm not sure this guy gets all aspects of accessibility, especially for people with disabilities. Otherwise, why would he, among other things, yell at Microsoft for allowing users to set color preferences?
I'd love to hear other reactions.

I may be the last to know about this site, but I'm sending the URL in case
it's new to you, too. It's called Jakob Nielsen's site (Usable Information
Technology). The URL is http://www.useit.com/ The goal is to promote
simplicity in Web design. It's not specifically about accessibility, but he
does provide links to Trace, etc. I plan to alert my students to this site
to discourage them from the practice of adding "geegaws" (as one of our
faculty puts it)! Linda
