 * WordPress is pretty accessible out of the box but it does have some significant
   accessibility flaws. However, a great deal depends upon:
 * 1. The chosen theme – most themes are, sadly, below AA compliance so either choose
   a theme carefully of be prepared to modify it fairly extensively.
 * 2. The awareness level of blog authors. WP can help authors produce semantic 
   accessible site but it can’t correct inaccessible user input. At the end of the
   day, it is simply a tool and no more.
 * On a more positive note, WP has been used to produce some quite stunning and 
   highly accessible sites. [http://spanish-portuguese.berkeley.edu/](http://spanish-portuguese.berkeley.edu/)
   is one of my favourites. Another is [http://lflegal.com/](http://lflegal.com/)–
   which is currently 1 of only 2 officially recognised WCAG 2.0 AAA sites worldwide.
 * [http://accessites.org/site/2008/11/wordpress-and-accessibility/](http://accessites.org/site/2008/11/wordpress-and-accessibility/)
   is an article that specifically looks at WP and accessibility and there are couple
   of other articles on Accessites that examine and suggest solutions to the shortcomings
   highlighted in the article.
