Help and Accessibility
Navigation: I have tried to make this website accessible for those who do not wish to use the mouse because of pain, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The use of the Tab key and the four Arrow keys along with the Accessibility chart at the right, can help to offer rudimentary navigation without the use of a mouse.

Color Scheme: Yes, these colors may seem odd but this scheme was chosen to help the eye to become less stressed while reading. White space behind this text is kept at a reduced percentage of the total screen size for better readability. The text may not seem large but when viewed with the provided colors it should help those with some types of color-blindness.

Grammar: Words formed by contractions have been kept to a minimum in this website. This helps to promote better readability and to keep audio text to speech programs from making incorrect pronunciations.

Screen Resolution: This website is deisgned for a minimum resolution of 800X600 pixels or higher. The 800X600 setting will offer the best readability.
