sample page

This is some sample text to illustrate how a section of your page might look. Notice that we are keeping the paragraphs relatively short to enhance readability for anyone who visits our site. Also notice the heading above this section stands out as a heading - not just to those of us who can see it and appreciate its visual appeal, but also to someone who might be visually impaired and using screen reader software. When the heading is formatted as a heading, the visual appeal takes care of itself, and the screen reader can detect and announce it as a heading.

When appropriate, it would be good to create a bulleted list so that the items in our list are set apart visually, but also, as with headings, made more accessible to someone who might be using a screen reader since the screen reader can detect a properly formatted list.

Don't forget the techniques for pasting plain text. Here are a couple of options:

• If you are using Chrome, right click before pasting and choose "paste and match style" 

• In any browser, hold down Shift with Ctrl or Command V when pasting. 

Pasting as plain text can save you a LOT of time and frustration. If you do forget and paste the text without using one of the above techniques, just use the "undo" button and try again.

When you create a link in your text, like this one to Elon University, it is important that it be named to match the site you link to. Not only is it easy to skim the page and find the links and know where they go, but someone using a screen reader will be able to ask it to read aloud the links on the page, and meaningful names will make it clear where each one will go.

A link will automatically be underlined (and a different color) and easily recognizable as a link to visitors who can see. On the other hand, if you underline non-linked text, anyone viewing your site, especially those who are colorblind, may think the underlined text is a link and waste time trying to "click" it.

Primary source analysis

Replace this text with a brief explanation of the primary source. If possible/legal, include n annotated copy of your primary source that illustrates a key aspect of the event. If this is not an option, include quotes from your primary source and write a few sentences about the significance of each.

Sources

Sources of information

Notice in this section that there are subheadings below the main heading of Sources. By checking under the Format menu, we can see that (all) the main headings on the page are formatted as level 3 headings - all the same level of importance, and the two subheadings here (sources of information and sources of images) are each formatted as level 4 headings - one level lower, but both the same (lower) level of importance.

Sources of images

Replace this text with a list of any images used on your web page and needed attributions giving credit as required by owner. Include links as appropriate documenting permission to reuse the images. A bulleted list would be an appropriate way to format the list.

Contributors

Replace this text with names of group members.
