Do It Myself Blog – Glenda Watson Hyatt

Inspired by Chris Brogan’s Social Media 100 and Becky McCray’s Small Biz 100 series – 100 useful and practical blog posts on their area of expertise, I am excited to announce that I will soon be launching Accessibility 100!

Accessibility 100 is a series of 100 easy-to-implement tips for improving accessibility for people with disabilities. To show that improving access for people with disabilities, this series will focus on the free and inexpensive tips that anyone can use. (The future Accessibility 200 series will provide tips that involve more effort and more cost.)

My plan is to launch Accessibility 100 during National Access Awareness Week in Canada, the first week of June – if I can wait that long!

Blog posts in the works include:

• 10 Tips for Communicating with People with Disabilities
• 5 Ways to Improve the Accessibility of Blogs
• 9 Tips for Making Your Writing Accessible
• Tips for Making Job Interviews Accessible
• Tips for Making Job Postings Accessible
• 3 Tips for Increasing Your Attitude’s Accessibility

Other ideas in the post hopper are:

• How to make locations more accessible
• How to use distance working to accommodate
• Simple customer accommodations

To ensure I cover a wide range of topics, I’d love to hear from you. What ideas do you have for the Accessibility 100 series? What would you like to know how to make accessible? What questions do you have about accessibility? Feel free to leave your questions, ideas and comments. Let’s make this a group project!
