Information about the dacbsa.org team

This site is maintained by volunteers and we are always looking for individuals who would like to assist. There are many tasks to perform and yes there are some that don't require you be computer literate. There are even tasks that take less than 1 hour a week. A myriad of expertise is required to keep this site maintained and growing. You have many that we would like you to share with us.

Organization of the dacbsa.org site menus

To provide multiple methods of access so that we can accommodate various user styles, machine capabilities and disabled visitors, we have provided the menu selections (left of screen) as well as the traditional menu options across the top of the page. Why both? Various readers for individuals with visual difficulty (talking browsers) cannot read the menu selections correctly. The other reason is convenience for those visitors who stay in one section for an extended period of time.

The menu option provides for an unlimited number of menu levels but we have limited it to three. Level one is what you see on the screen at all times. The arrow indicates that there is another level of information. Most all items will be available from this level. There are some that will indicate (with an arrow) that there is another level. We have tried to limit this as much as possible. Organization, screen space and other factors come into play when this decision has to be made.

Suggestions are always welcome to keep the information available to all users with a minimal amount of effort on the part of the visitor. We want to make your visit informational, not confusing.
