Any one got any advice on how to put content at the top, and navigation, ad's etcetera at the bottom of a page, in the source. I here this is important for screenreaders and the like.

Usability is of great importance to me.

Thanks

Are you sure it's better for usability to put navigation after content? If I had a screen reader, it would be a real pain to have to trawl through a lengthy page that I didn't want to read before I could get off it via the navigation.

I don't know too much about usability, but there might be something you find useful here: http://www.alistapart.com/topics/userscience/usability/

That is why you put in a SKIP at the top so you CAN allow a screen reader user a way to skip to the navigation.

You can put your page elements in whatever order you choose, and position where it is displayed using CSS.

This is not important for screenreaders, etc. As LadynRed stated, there are better ways to optimize your web pages for people with disabilities.

Adam,

NO!

What are you guys implying?

Maedi: The second link in my signature is a site whose primary idea is your exact purpose (putting the content first). Kinda funny how people are finally looking for it now.
