This past week I've been absent for the most part because of the Las Vegas seo conference.  One of the big things that kept coming up as a reoccurring theme was information accessibility. Making a site accessable by everyone, regardless of browser, os, etc. During one of the sessions, there was a website owner from San Diego that wanted to have the best Chiropratic website on the web.   He told us about how one of his customers found him and gave him the best compliment he ever got. The customer was blind and was able to find his business because the content was so well written the screen reader program he was using didn't have any problems translating it for him.

Which brings up a good design point---write content so straight forward that a screen reader will be able to read it. The same thing goes for your alt tags. They should be descriptive and to the point. A half a page paragraph doesn't do anyone any good. After all, you never know who is going to visit your site. -Charles

Charles, Was different languages being on a web site discussed at this same conference?

Not at any of the sessions I attended. You have to keep in mind that there was a huge cross section of attendees.  Individual webmasters, corporate it personnel, marketers, programmers, etc. -Charles

That makes total sense and great example. I never thought of "readers" being used.

That was one of those little things that most people most likely missed at the seesion. Great reminder Charles.

Have to say while I was there I felt like I didn't get that much out of it, then as I have been sitting back thinking about stuff I am realizing I learned more than I thought.
