After reading about the silktide sitescore tool on Nitallica’s blog, I put this site to the test. It fares pretty well, getting the maximum score for accessibility and design, and scoring a respectable 8.5 out of 10 overall.

What brings the scor…

Interesting site, thanks for the heads up on it! It says i have A page "in violation of the British Disability Discrimination Act” hmm... how the heck and I supposed to find A page... oh well. I did see two errors that tidy also let me get away with.. strange! USually tidy shows errors I dont have :) so.. guess I will be working on mine later! LOL Wow! Interesting site, thanks for the heads up on it!

Wow…see? I always knew Tidy liked you best!!! It never let’s *me* get away with anything ;p" Bwahahahaaaaa! Mara, you crack me up! ;) Doc: They're all blank. *g* Seriously, I prefer using title tags, but understand completely why alt tags should be used. It's funny, that site also caught a couple of id's I had set in duplicate on one page, and found a bug in one of my forms. What's weird is that I've checked my code's validaty with the W3C checkers before, and never found those. *shrugs* :P “Tidy let you slide? Wow…see? I always knew Tidy liked you best!!!

I, for example, have incredible difficulty with sites that have dark backgrounds. Worse is such sites that also have dark text to go with it. I knew about the "British Disability Discrimination Act" because a guy I know was attempting to make his site more suitable to my needs. I asked why and he mentioned the BDDA requiring it. God knows I'd love something like that here in the states. Not just because of myself but also because of all the blind folks I know who simply can't access a lot of sites. *Hugs* And bless you for adding the alt tags!

Who knew? ;P I'm now up to 8.2 ... is that good? heh Addendum: OK, I’ll be the first to admit that maybe I was wrong … this thing *DID* help me find a couple of ‘bugs’ in my code that the Tidy HTML Validator let slide.
