I've got no sense of smell (I don't know why, but it's true) so I would 
encourage all of you to hold your nose when viewing your sites.

Does it all still work?
Are you able to pick out the links?
Do the images still give out the correct message?

Obviously I'm ahead of the game, all my sites function perfectly regardless of 
the users ability to smell of not, but maybe your work doesn't have this extra 
edge.


I intend to get this olfactorally-impaired test entered into the 508-standards.

Do you think it's worth it?

cheers - dunstan


p.s. I really can't smell.
