As part of this transition, she has left her role in the Visual Studio Accessibility team. As part of this transition, we decided that it made the most sense to create a shared weblog for our "virtual team." Sara had a ton of great accessibility-related content on her weblog that we didn't want to lose, so I have moved all of it over here. You can count on the VSAccessibility blog being a great source for more information in the future.</font></div> <div class="entrylistitem"><font face="Verdana" size="2"></font>&nbsp;</div> <div class="entrylistitem"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Thanks,</font></div> <div class="entrylistitem"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Aaron Brethorst</font></div> <div class="entrylistitem"><font face="Verdana" size="2">User Experience Program Manager - VS Platform</font></div> <div class="entrylistitem"><strong><font face="Verdana" size="2"></font></strong>&nbsp;</div> <div class="entrylistitem"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><strong>General Accessibility and MSAA:</strong></font></div> <ul> <li> <div class="entrylistitem"><a class="entrylisttitle" id="CategoryEntryList" href="/vsaccessibility/articles/232090.aspx"><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">The Fundamentals of Accessibility</font></a><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2"> </font></div></li> <li> <div class="entrylistitem"><a class="entrylisttitle" id="CategoryEntryList" href="/vsaccessibility/articles/232161.aspx"><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">Testing for Accessibility: Keyboard, High Contrast, and Assistive Technology Compatibility&nbsp;</font></a><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">&nbsp;</font></div></li> <li> <div class="entrylistitem"><a class="entrylisttitle" id="CategoryEntryList" href="/vsaccessibility/articles/232158.aspx"><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">Watch Out for these Unpopular Accessibility Bugs</font></a><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2"> </font></div></li> <li> <div class="entrylistitem"><a class="entrylisttitle" id="CategoryEntryList" href="/vsaccessibility/articles/232157.aspx"><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">Normal, Unavailable, Offscreen, and Invisible AA States Explained</font></a><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2"> </font></div></li> <li> <div class="entrylistitem"><a class="entrylisttitle" id="CategoryEntryList" href="/vsaccessibility/articles/232156.aspx"><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">Questions and answers about AA-Naming your control</font></a><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;</font></div></li> <li> <div class="entrylistitem"><a class="entrylisttitle" id="CategoryEntryList" href="/vsaccessibility/articles/232155.aspx"><font face="Verdana" color="#0000ff" size="2">Usability and Accessibility - are they the same thing?
