  1. Load my page, and squint my eyes (Yes, I'm serious). Can I still read the content, and differentiate between background/foreground colors?
  2. Next I move my mouse out of reach (like behind my desk). Now, just using my keyboard, can I navigate my entire site?
Of course, this is an extremely simple test...but what do you all do for your
usability testing?
color combinations, font-family, and font size extremely important and I always pay great attention to it...

Just a little tip - you should ALWAYS define font-family and font-size for your pages and that includes <h> tags, otherwise browser will use default user settings and You have no idea how people will see your site in different browsers...

With keyboard - you got me here... The only time I use it - to type something in. Without mouse I will be lost even on perfectly accessible/usable site...
