Links

Wherever possible, links are written to make sense out of context.

Many browsers (such as JAWS, Home Page Reader, Lynx, and Opera) can extract the list of links on a page and allow the user to browse the list, separately from the page.

To the best of our ability, all links to external sites have a visual cue, Example: External Link and this links will open in a new window.

All links to non-HTML files (i.e., MS Word, PDF etc.) will always open the file in a new window unless otherwise noted.

Images

All content images used on this site strive to include descriptive ALT attributes. If your find an image without ALT tags, please contact us and let us know. We will try to address the issue when possible.

This site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for visual layout. Content is independent of CSS.
