Another one of the many reasons for good, clean code. Synthesised speech and braille display technologies won't work correctly without it. This could be considered unlawful it says, I presume on discriminatory grounds.

Div Span
Validated my div span code and it passed, but only a little bit. Came back with this:
No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8.
None of the standards sources gave any information on the character encoding labeling for this document. Without encoding information it is impossible to reliably validate the document. As a fallback solution, the "UTF-8" encoding was used to read the content and attempt to perform the validation, but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents.
Read the FAQ entry on character encoding for more details and pointers on how to fix this problem with your document.
Anyone know what this means?

I missed the Span and Div HTML stuff on Saturday cos of London Transport. I hope the Victoria Line, South West Trains and Silverlink are proud of themselves....I blame Bojo.
However, I have done my site structure, wireframes and storyboard (and logged my work). Ready to start writing the content now. Yes, any minute now. Honestly, I'll be reading away like billy-o before I know it...just better check Facebook first. Oh then my email. And then better update myself on the news.
Oh look, I've run out of teabags... Can't read without tea.

Questions...Questions....
Hmmmm...OK, not having too much trouble with the HTML part so far (that's to come).
My brain is whirring over the content of my site. Wondering what I should include...what I should leave out. Best thing I have read on this (about a year ago so mostly forgotten) is Steve Krug's 'Don't Make me Think!' which is mostly about usability. Does usability alone make a good website?? A website might be easy to use and be 'fit for purpose', but it could still potentially look awful and beneath the 'surface' have streams of messy, illicit, non-standard code (but nonetheless functional in terms of the user experience - I assume it's possible to do both?).
So tomorrow night, in an attempt to achieve even a flimsy grasp of 'Good Website Design', I shall be doing a lot of reading and notetaking to get an idea of some sensible topics to cover on my site. This will hopefully point towards some sort of structure/hierarchy for my site (which is currently 'homepage/stuff/more stuff.html') .
I suggest we make a website about how to make a cracking cup of tea. I know all about that :0)
