Implementation of web accessibility can seem excessively complicated. In reality, the best accessibility practices dovetail with good overall usability, and are easy to implement via standard tools such as templates and cascading style sheets (CSS). This session will cover topics such as understanding the difference between various accessibility guidelines, avoiding common accessibility errors, when (and when not) to rely on automatic accessibility checkers, and unexpected populations that benefit from accessible websites.

This free webinar is best suited for individuals with some knowledge of HTML coding who are involved with ensuring that their organization's website is accessible.

mySociety, a nonprofit organization based in the UK that runs most of the best-known democracy and transparency websites in the UK, celebrates five years of working, building, and developing for the common good this month!

Who's mySociety?

A community of volunteers and (paid) open source coders with two missions:

Ok, a little more focus here, how might an organization use social networks on line, to boost their project?

This is a rapidly evolving sector.

There are sites like Myspace, Facebook and quite a few others.

I think one of the goals is to educate the public, expose, but also to find people who already have a common ground to a project.

Interested to hear views on this.

Location

I have looked at a bunch of nonprofit websites which currently use RSS feeds. Many of these sites do not have much explanation about the RSS feed.

For example, the link says subscribe to RSS feed. What is the content of the RSS feed?

It helps to let the readers and users of your website know what the RSS feed is about.

I have also noticed alot of websites include information about RSS. There is information about what it is and how to subscribe. This is a great thing to add since many readers and users are not familiar with RSS.
