The presentation, titled &#034;Web Accessibility and  Content Management Systems&#034;, will be one of the &#034;Extended Talks&#034; available at the Conference.

		<description><![CDATA[So recently Google released a brand new browser called &#039;Chrome&#039;. It offers a simplified interface and a few &#34;new&#34; features, which are discussed at length already by many other people. I won&#039;t go there. But it&#039;s worth mentionning that the browser is next to unusable for many people with disabilities. Screenreader software is not supported, [...]]]></description>

The design definitely helped to frame my images in a more creative way, and certainly increased the perceived value of my photography. I am very proud of the website.

It&#039;s a new system to track site statistics &#224; la Google Analytics, only it&#039;s in real time, and it lives on your desktop. It&#039;s a closed beta release at the moment, though they have over 20,000 testers, including myself now :) I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Years ago, there were sites proudly sporting &#34;Bobby approved&#34; graphics, to denote it was accessible.  There are still many of those sites around.  There are new badges signifying a site is accessible, or at least it should be.  But what is the real value of those accessibility badges?  Do they really [...]]]></description>

They further claim that the criterion are too complex to evaluate properly without human judgement. They are not wrong. But we should be careful not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. They can be beneficial [...]]]></description>
