Oh my god. I’m so pathetic… Dive into Accessibility free book by Mark Pilgrim was published in 2002, and I’ve read this afternoon. Well… I’m 2 years late, but at least, I’ve read it! Excellent book.

It helped me understanding some basic accessibility features, and especially one, “Presenting your main content first”. I knew that my content wasn’t well presented. The menu, the infos, the style selector, the buttons, the links and the daily picks. After below all that stuff, the main content! I viewed my site with a non CSS compliant browser (or used the No CSS function of my site) and I understood how it could be frustrating for a person using a text browser to scroll down the first third of a page to get to what he/she wants.

So I changed that. I moved the main content (the blog) above the infos. Just below the menu. Now, if you disable CSS, you’ll see the menu, and directly below, the main content.

The change is not noticeable on modern web browsers since it doesn’t change anything of the presentation. But if you look at the source, there is the difference.
