Hari Wibowo manages a small finance website aiming to help new investors getting started. Curious? You can find his other writings at An accessible Web site is easily approached, easily understood Cheap Salomon Shoes China , and useable for all. There are accessibility standards set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium, which all sites should adhere to as much as possible.
Web site owners should be aware of accessibility standards, because most designers and developers often ignore them. It is a waste of your investment to develop a great site that many Web surfers may not even be able to use.
While personal sites can get away with more innovative technologies, most commercial sites should not go overboard. If you do business internationally, or with customers who are located anywhere but in a city Cheap Kids Salomon Shoes , the user's bandwidth is a big issue. If it takes longer than a few seconds to open a document from your site, users are likely to move on, to another site that will work faster.

Not all browsers are created equal. Check your site for compatibility on as many computers as you can. It's wise to consider that some people don't allow JavaScript, cookies, images Cheap Womens Salomon Shoes , or Flash and some people use text readers. By viewing your site on many machines, you often will find issues with the way your site operates or looks.
Search engine spiders will have an easier time indexing your pages when the links are standard HTML text. Text links also improve your positioning on search engines. If the text in your site is within a graphic or a Flash movie, most search engines won't even be able to pick it up, and you may never show up for the phrases you wish to be found for.
If your site takes away the ability for a visitor to utilize certain browser functions, you will lose more than you will gain. Removing tool bars Cheap Mens Salomon Shoes , not allowing text resize, and functions that automatically redirect a user to another page and then do not allow for the "back" function, are all tactics to avoid.
These are but a few examples of accessibility issues. Ultimately, a Web site can never be accessible enough. Awareness is step one.

Milwaukee got a taste of success a few years ago and now nothing else will do. 2009 was disappointing because they did not make the playoffs Cheap Salomon Shoes , but this is team that has a lot of talent and with one nice little run, can make a dent at getting into the post-season again. They were a hair shy of .500 last season and just need a small push to get back into contention this season.
The pitching rotation has plenty of promise. More than likely, the top of the rotation will feature Yovani Gallardo. This is a 24 year old that has an enormous upside. While we cannot call last season a breakout season, there were a lot of hopeful signs that he is well on his way to becoming a true Ace. You can probably count sub 4.00 ERA pitchers on your two hands and he was one of them. He is getting deep into games and another pitcher who gives his team a chance when he has the ball.
Another starter that could shore up this staff is Randy Wolf. After spending the bulk of his career in Philadelphia, he has spent the last few years as a hired gun. He had a chance to get settled into a regular spot in the rotation last year for the Dodgers and rewarded them with a great season. More offensive support would have netted him close to 20 wins. He is a solid number two starter for the Milwaukee Brewers.
