<<<*******>>>
NOTE: I receive my MS FP
Bulletin one month late, now I have found
the
http://microsoftfrontpage.com/ site, I
will be able to post the bulletins sooner.
However please note the bulletins one
receives via subscription at MS are not the
same format as the site bulletins and that
the msfp site also contains other
information. There is one other important
point to note and that is the archives at
microsoftfrontpage.com do not as far as back
as these, so if you want to look back this
is the place to do it! You can also obtain
the bulletins as
FREE E-books with your membership
of AnyFrontPage Bytes.

15 TIPS TO MAKE
YOUR WEB SITE ACCESSIBLE
Steve Graves, writing for Government Computer News, learned a few tricks
designing three Web site prototypes and then retrofitted them for Section 508
accessibility requirements. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of
1998 requires US government agencies to make their electronic information, and
the information systems themselves, accessible to disabled users. Find out about
Steve’s tips and the tools he used including FrontPage and FrontPage third
party Add-ins at:
