***** You have to be careful using Java code if you are looking to attract
the blind user - but I think Sun Systems started to market a Plug In for the
blind user - could be wrong on this - Java code can be so useful to stop
aspects of site theft of graphics etc...

***** Terrapin does an automatic link check each time you Publish a site to
the site host - there is a timer on the checker, so slow loading sites
(normally the ones built with a "flash" entry page) need to be manually
checked, but the base facility quickly checks even the most complicated
sites with masses of links built in to the pages.
