Text Resizing: A Primer

Apparently there are many web users who do not know how to utilize some of the accessibility features of their browsers. Are you one of them?

For example, it seems as though some users don’t know how to resize the text on their browsers for easier reading while web surfing. A handy article on this issue has been written by Ian Lloyd at Accessify.com. Ian has even created a video to show you how easy changing text size is. If you cannot or do not want to watch the video, I have posted a transcript of that video as provided by Mike Cherim at Green-Beast.com. Take a look at how simple it is to make your web browsing easier on the eyes!

I have been determined to learn to design accessible websites so that all users, regardless of their disability or hardware, can have access to the sites that I build.

My design skills and my accessiblity skills have increased dramatically in the past year, I am proud to say, and I can now pump out a pretty accessible website.

There are many resources that I have utilized to broaden my knowledge about accessible web design. However, nobody has been a greater help to me than Mike Cherim at accessites.org. Mike has gone out of his way to spend quite a bit of his valuable time helping me become more sensitive to accessibility, and I thank him for it.
