Ray,

I am wondering if you, or anyone else out there with screen reader software
or a Braille display, could look at a basic "vanilla" site I have developed
and let me know how it works for you.

The basic backend code should keep the pages accessible (or inaccessible,
depending on feedback) while I start concentrating on making the pages
"pretty".

The site is named, oddly enough, www.MarcDavidJohnson.com and yes, it is
supposed to look generic at this point - the goal is to have it validate
correctly and to make it accessible and THEN start "fluffing" up the look.
:-)

Thank you for your time,
