How much does accessibility cost?
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 includes a number of very welcome accessibility features that you can now build into a PDF document. Adobe are quite proud of this and the Adobe site includes an entire site sub-section on Acrobat 7.0 and Accessibility that boasts:
Adobe helps make electronic information more accessible to people with disabilities including but not limited to: blindness, low vision, hearing, or motor impairments.
The, not so obvious, catch is that, if you want to create accessible PDF forms, you need a copy of Acrobat 7.0 Professional rather than Acrobat 7.0 Standard.
So the next time that someone asks how much accessibility costs, you can tell them.
$150 dollars or £82.87.
At last – I’ve found a use for a blog

title or h1?
Most sites – even personal ones – have some sort of logo or corporate -like title. Once a site is ‘named’, there’s a reasonable desire to ensure that every page references the site’s logo or title. But what is the correct semantic markup to use for this information? Many sites opt to place a logo image and/or text inside the <h1> tag on every page.
But is that correct? Or even desirable?
