How accessible are your web pages? What can you do to make them more accessible?

Below is the report I did on two web sites. One site is my geocities site and the other my credit union site. My web site past with almost flying colours with only minor details that need to be fixed. You will read about this in my report.

Site Vaildation
Where validated	http://valdator.w3.org
Sites Validated	1. www.geocities.com/celyoneill
Results
This site was was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to validate the document. The sources I tried are: The HTTP Content-Type field. The XML Declaration. The HTML "META" element
2. www.summerlandcu.org.au

Web Site Accessibility Testing
Where Tested	http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/index.jsp
Sites Tested	1. www.geocities.com/celyoneill
Results
Priority 1 for Accessibility Issues
* Provide alternative text for all images.    I will be changing this.
Priority 1 User Checks
1. If I can't make the site accessible make an alternative accessible site. What changes that need to be made are very minumin and I will be trying to fix them.
2. If style sheets are ignored or unsupported, are pages still readable or usable? (Not applicable)
3. If you use colour to convey information, make sure the information is also presented in another way.   (Not applicable)
4. If this is a data table (not used for layout only), identify headers for the table rows and columns.   Table used for layout only
5. If an image conveys important information beyond what is in the alternative tags, provide an extend description.   (Not applicable)
6. If table has two or more rows or columns that serve as headers , use structural markup to identify their hierarchy and relationship.   (Not applicable)

Priority 1 Accessibility
This result is the same as for my site but, because it has more images then mine, there are more alt tags needed.
Priority 1 User Checks
This site had the same a mine but one extra point. Provide alternative content for each SCRIPT that conveys important information of functionally.

Many inappropriate errors but there are some that can be fixed and will be done before the end of the year.
