Off the top of my head:
*) Make sure your HTML is in a sensible (read: logical) order
*) Use semantic markup - for headers, not , etc
*) Use 'accesskey' where necessary
*) Use 'title' everywhere
*) Might be worth looking over http://diveintoaccessibility.org/ again?

and of course:
*) *Actually* check your site in an aural browser.
