That is a very valid point you mentioned. Much of the information out there
in regards to accessibility guidelines is confusing and overwhelming to
many. Especially when trying to compile the information in the attempt to
educate companies/employers and clients the necessities and ways to
implement accessibility to enhance the usability of their web sites.

I find it very frustrating on my end that my employer and fellow employees
do not even consider accessibility even though I have repeatedly expressed
my concern for this issue.

Thank you for your thoughts Holly, I have been enjoying many of your posts
as well as everyone else's. This list has been extremely informative the
past few weeks. Keep it up.

Michael
