I have been slowly sorting through my Delicious bookmarks and come to realise there are some real gems in there! But rather than you trolling through my entire Delicious collection I will try to hand pick out the best of them and post them here!
Soak up what you can.
This weeks focus is on Accessibility and WAI-ARIA; happy sponging!
After reading this article, you’ll understand what ARIA is for, how to integrate it into your sites, and how you can use it now to make even the simplest of sites more accessible.
The WAI ARIA specification defines a set of specialised “landmark” roles. These roles provide a method to programmatically identify commonly found sections of web page content in a consistent way.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
No accessibility list would be complete without the guidelines themselves. Not a small document but one I have come to know inside-out, upside-down!
Have a website in your bookmarks that you use for a similar topic? Why not contribute it to the discussion…
Ah-ha, how very handy! I was after some decent resource on Landmark roles, so I know where to come for them when I get around to it…
Loving the new design!
Thanks Tom, I hope to be sharing more of my bookmarks over the coming months and thought this was a great place to start!
