Hello all,
I'm in progress of writing this calendar (I figured it was easier to
write my own than trying to get any existing calendar to talk to my
mainframe system...). I was wondering if you could check this page at
this point in the progress and tell me if there is anything else I
can do to make it more accessible.

A slightly tangential thought: if you'd written a standard API (e.g.
iCalendar) to your mainframe data, your users could use any
iCalendar-supporting application, e.g. Apple iCal, Google Calendar,
Mozilla Calendar/Sunbird and even the latest version of Outlook.
See here for more about iCalendar:

Best regards,

I noticed one little thing. In the document structure, you have
"Western Nevada College" as a <h1> and then "Calendar for July, 2007"
as an <h3>, thus skipping over the <h2> level. Seems like "Calendar
for ..." should be an <h2>.
And since you are organizing it in the rows/columns format, it
*might* make sense to have the "Week" designations then be <h3>s.
HTH,
Keith

Again, not really an accessibility matter, but you could make it
understand and output the hCalendar microformat:
<http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar>;
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCalendar>;

Good idea. Just don't use the abbr design pattern ;)
