All pages on this site have the following access keys defined:
- Access key 1 Homepage

Please note that not all browsers support these keyboard shortcuts.
Skipping through navigation
There are 'hidden' navigation links on each page that enable you to skip the bits you don’t want to read in order to quickly get to the bit you want.
These links are accessible to users of non-visual browsers, such as screen readers, or users of visual browsers who have cascading style sheets turned off. Starting from the top of the page, you can skip directly to
- the main page content
- the main navigation links
- the search form.
Visual design
This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout. If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
Colours and fonts have been chosen to provide sufficient contrast
All font sizes are relative, and there are a number of different methods for changing the font size:
- Click the upper-case 'A' button on the top right of the page. This will increase the font sizes. The lower-case 'a' will return them to the standard size. (This method requires that you have Javascript enabled).
- Depending on your browser, you can hold down the Ctrl key and use the + and - keys to enlarge or shrink the fonts.
- In your browser's 'View' menu, select a text size.
- In your browser's 'View' menu, select a style: for this site, 'normal' or 'big'.
How to subscribe to the Quaker News Feed
The ‘Subscribe to news’ link on the homepage of this site is an RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) link. RSS feeds are free content feeds from websites, and they can contain article headlines, summaries and links back to full-text articles on various different websites.
RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when new content has been added to any websites you select. Instead of visiting a particular website to browse for new material, RSS automatically tells you when something new has been added.
To start using RSS, you need a special feed reader (sometimes called an aggregator) that displays RSS content feeds from any website you choose to add to it. There are many different feed readers available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer. Some modern web browsers now come with feed readers built in; the most common include Firefox, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer 7.
Once you have set up your news reader, click on the ‘Subscribe to news’ link on the homepage of this site, and the news stories will be automatically added to your reader.
