Hi everyboby!
I just wanted to offer my support in Web Sites Accessibility.
WHY?
"WHO estimates that between 7% and 10% of the world’s population lives with disabilities which means almost 500 million people. The vast majority of them, about 80%, live in developing countries, where only 1% to 2% have access to the necessary rehabilitation services."

On the other hand, what about the users who:
- use speech browsers, e.g. visualy impaired or blind people or businessmen in cars
- don't have the latest graphical browsers and plug-ins
- can't see the wondeful graphics, hear the real-time audio, or navigate an interactive site surf with slow modems, or reside in rural or remote areas with limited access to the Internet
- browse without graphics, using text-only browsers or subscribe to non-graphic services
- access in noisy, high or low light enviroments
Well, if you do not want to loose potential visitors, or you want Return On your Investment (ROI), it would be highly recommended to begin thinking of making your web site accessible.
Doing that, you participate in the greatest social initiative on the Web:
"STOP DISCRIMINATION ON THE WEB!"
Therefore, if you have any questions or problems, please feel free to post them here!
