I will be updating my contrast style sheets to accommodate all a bit better in the near future. Glad to hear you convinced your boss to make the switch. I appreciate your feedback, Chris.

I am aware of the Accessibility contrast requirement and the many contract checkers on the web. By adding a style switcher I was addressing this requirement, but you are correct that there is some content that needs to be adjusted yet in the high contrast versions of the site. Thanks, Chris.

But one issue I wanted to bring to your attention is the colors of the text and website. It is very, very hard to read. I'm not trying to preach to you, but one of the accessibility guidelines is to provide enough contrast so that the site is readable. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-CSS-TECHS/#style-color-contrast There is a color contrast analyzer, that will help you with this: http://juicystudio.com/services/luminositycontrastratio.php, just put in the hex # for the background and foreground colors. I have hard time reading the text in the article and the text links to the left hand side. Also I'm referring to the text color/bg color for the default stylesheet and your nav menu to the left (across all stylesheets). Just through you should know.
