I look forward to hearing what you have to say. If I can ever be of service, don't hesitate to ask. I’m a web designer myself, and one area I work extensively in is accessibility.

One of the aspects of blogging that first took my interest is accessibility - it is such a broad term. But, of course it can mean lots of things to different people. Some years ago I was intrigued to find how it was possible for someone who was visually impaired to access the Internet. More recently I learnt that data that I can't see on my screen but that lies in the html can either help or hinder a visually impaired person who is using a screen reader. I will be interested to learn how you progress with your mission in this aspect of in blogging. Good luck with that. Catchya later from Middle-earth Kia ora Glenda

I began working for <a href="http://www.theworkshop.co.uk" rel="nofollow">my current employer</a> two and a half years ago. I'm a copywriter, but I've had to learn (and continue to learn) about accessibility and how it's implemented on the web and in e-learning tools (SCORM etc). It's a complicated business and I'll be keeping my eye on what you have to share! This is really interesting.
