I was told today that the <em> and <strong> tags
produce more emphasis when a screen reader "reads" the
text formatted with them. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Thanks!

Hi,
Is there an icon that is normally used to indicate an accessible
website, or area of the website?
Thanks,
Kim

The W3C has its icons for successful validation (of CSS, HTML, XHTML,
etc...) and NCAM offers the web access symbol
(http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/symbolwinner.html). The Web access symbol
doesn't indicate anything except that the developer is interested and
working toward delivering an accessible site or page.
The symbol is free to use as long as the suggested alt-text accompanies it.

There is also a WAI[Web Accessibity Initiative] levels logo avaialable
also
http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1AA-Conformance
Logo and information regarding that Icon here, which though some might
not agree with all the WAI information, I think maybe this is the best
looking one on the net. Shows that you took the time to check your pages
against guidelines and have thoughts on making the site accessible to as
many as possible. I thought there were a few levels available but you
might check, and also read what Double A compliance is all about. There
are 3 levels of compliance. Double A compliance, I am not mistaken
covers Priority 1 level items and Priority 2 level items. Priority 3
level items is even stricter.
Level Triple A conformance and the logo is here,
http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG1AAA-Conformance
more information about Triple A is on this page. All 3 priority levels
are needed or part of Triple A compliance.
More information about conformance and the Priority Levels is here...

Quick List of Priorities is here:

That would be from the
And then of course Bobby. at http://www.cast.org
trouble with these icons is that it is not apparent exactly how to make
a good accessibility icon, or a standard one.
