User Tips

Learn how to make fonts larger on any site.

This site is designed for accessibility in text-only browsers, aural browsers, and the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, and AOL.

General Tip

Sighted users: Enable font smoothing on your PC or Mac (enable ClearType in Windows XP), to make online text significantly easier to read on this and every website.

Accessibility Features

All page-to-page and site-to-site links are in HTML so that visitors using text-only browsers can take advantage of all content. All font sizes are specified in relative rather than absolute units, so users may shrink or enlarge text at will. Colors are controlled by style sheets and may be turned off by users who need their own color theme.

Deviations from WAI Recommendations

Pages are laid out in tables, to ensure that users with diminished eyesight who need enlarged text can see every word in the latest versions of all popular browsers.

Email links are scripted to prevent automated collection by spammers. If your browser does not support scripting, use our Contact Form to get in touch with us.

Reluctantly, we have decided not to use invisible links that allow blind visitors to bypass repetitive navigation groups. Such links are not invisible to no-frills browsers, like Lynx, yet they do not work in those browsers. They mislead blind visitors who cannot afford high-tech aural browsers and who must rely on free or low-cost screen readers and text-only browsers.
