Very glad to hear how well your presentation went, Glenda. I really enjoy your blog posts and Twitter messages — you are a wonderful ambassador for the subject of accessibility, making it interesting and appealing to everybody.

Thank you!

You know, you are one amazing and awesome lady and you made me smile, laugh, and think… which is saying a lot (because I’m usually too tired to do all 3! )

Love ya sister – so glad you were there and I got my hugs in!!

Glenda – I am so sorry I didn’t meet you at the conference! Your presentation must have been awesome. Even though I attended the other presentation that hour, you changed my outlook – I deleted a post I had on accessibility, because it revealed my ignorance in that area.

Thanks for how you’re changing the world.

Glenda, you definitely informed lots of people about accessibility, and I’m not sure that anyone was more widely re-tweeted or blogged about!

And that Liz. She is something else.

Glenda, it was my honor to finally get to meet you in person! I’m glad we know each other ’cause 10 years from now, when you get that Nobel Prize, I’m gonna poke the fellah next to me in the ribs and say, “See her? She’s a personal friend of mine!”

I’ve appreciated the conversations we’ve had, and your presentation on making our blogs accessible for all. Now, like you, I gotta get to work…

A big ol’ tip o’ the hat to ya!

Maggie, thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you found the presentation informative.

You’ve hit upon an important point (or two) that I’d like to discuss in my next web accessibility post, as soon as I can get to write it.

For a quick keyboard-accessible test, cover the built-in mouse with a piece of paper to remind yourself not to use it and then explore your blog using only your keyboard!

Amy, it was great hanging with you at SOBCon! (And, between you and me, my blog isn’t as accessible as it should be either. It is a work in progress!)
