8. Accessibility 8.1 What does the addition of alternative text, or an alt tag, allow users who are visually impaired to get, and what is the general rule for the content of an alt tag?
8.2 What type of alternative text should you add for each of the three ways images can be used?  (Please include 3 examples of alternative text as part of your answers.  You may use the same examples given in the online article.)
8.3 What does "508-Compliant" mean?
8.4 What is "Bobby?"  And how can I evaluate my site for accessibility?
8.5 Please submit the URL of your prototype home page to the visibility checker at Vischeck.com .  The checker will then display an image of what your home page would look like to a person who is visually impaired.  Capture that image (via screen capture) and display it in the ACCESSIBILITY section of your prototype.  Next to it, display a screen captured image of  your actual home page as well, and discuss the results and differences and what you must consider when using images in web pages and other interface designs.
