Screen shot of Section508.gov with Chrome developer tools highlighting outline styles. I was thrilled to see the incredibly and wildly inaccessible Section508.gov web site get re-launched recently (here’s an example of the old site from March).

This is my QR code landing page. You are here probably because you stood really close to me and scanned a QR code on my hat or shirt. In which case I'd like to think I know you. Otherwise you are a very sneaky stalker and bravo to you. If…
