LINKS

• Part of this website’s dedication to standards compliancy is that in addition to semantically marking up pages, many links have TITLE attributes which describe the link in greater detail, unless the text of the link already fully describes the target (such as the headline of an article)
• In as much as is possible, links are written to make sense out of context

IMAGES

• All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics and placeholder images include null ALT attributes
• Complex images include a LONGDESC attribute or inline description to explain the significance of each image to non-visual readers.

VISUAL DESIGN

• This site uses Cascading Style Sheets for visual layout
• The first time an abbreviation or an acronym is used in a page, it is identified with either an ABBR tag or an ACRONYM tag respectively. 
• If your browser or browsing device does not support Style Sheets at all, the content of each page is still readable
• Colour Contrast has been check and Passes WCAG 2.0 level AA
• All information conveyed with colour is also available without colour
