Issue on Google Accessible Search

[arin2u]

Recently the technical team of Google has launched Google Accessible Search [labs.google.com] for provinding better search result to visually impaired users. Can anyone please me clear on how to make a page accessable to the visually impaired people and get it high ranked in accessible search result? Any suggestion and advices will be of great help to me.

With thanks

arin2u:

Center all text; using the <blockquote> tag is an easy shortcut. Make sure the content never relies on a graphic, e.g. "The left widget is shaped like a tomato, see picture to left" etc..

Use a free screen reader program to test your pages (and don't cheat.. [ vis-a-vis don't glance at the screen while lstening ;-) ] "BrowseAloud" is free and works perfectly (moderators.. let this through..?) but there are plenty to find.

If you want to center text, use

text-align:center;

. Centering text with the blockquote tag is a misuse of that tag.
