free page supposed to give you a Bobby report is not?

limk to reformulated page
http://users.dedac.com/marcmiller/!!h1Fantasy_Bob_Home_Page_p1.html

I have questions which I am particularly wonder it about in regard to my reformulated page. I have three times started the paragraphs with picture beginnings as I perceive was recommended to me. I do not know if that is obvious enough or that is understood by people who understand writing it reading better than I.

Starting paragraphs with pictures necessitated the creation of columns of uneven length. I do not know how acceptable this is however I thought I might add the Bobby logo to the last column to lengthen it. If I can meet the Bobby criteria with a little work. To that end I tried the free page that was supposed to give you a Bobby report. It does not work for me saying the page cannot be found. Other verification pages were for me so I'm wondering if somebody here could explain the trouble I am having with this one? The link where I am submitting my pages can be found here.

Does anybody here know of an alternative accessibility logo I might display? And we're I go to verify to those standards and obtain the logo.

accessibility is not 100% and those logos are pretty much useless as they can only guess what you are doing.
The only real way is to get your hands on a screen reader program (I could never find a free one), another way is to turn your CSS and tables off (opera allows tables to be turned off) and see if your content is still readable.
I made a bogus page a couple of years ago and ran it thru bobby and some of the other free 'accessibility validators' out there, it past yet when read by screen reader was a night mare (used someones pc to test it).

If you use tables, including the summary attribute in the table tag, use alt and title tags in images, use title in links, especially if going off the site.
Those are among some of the basics but also depends on what level you're going for, section 508 etc is pretty mild.

Most of it comes down to common sense.
