My topic is blogs and accessibility, as some of my faithful six readers may have guessed. If you're reading this, please let me know if you have any thoughts on the following:
- Any things you've heard you are or aren't supposed to do to make your blog/site accessible or just plain easier for people to read, and whether you understand why you're supposed to be doing those things.
- Any experience you've had trying to make a blog/site more accessible or compliant with accessibility standards, and how that went for you.
- Any of your friends or family who aren't currently using technology because the technology they can access doesn't meet their needs, or any friends and family who are using adaptive technology (including even simple things like larger fonts, lower screen resolution).
I'll not only get a chance to speak, but to post materials to the BlogHer site and prepare handouts for conference attendees, so I'd like to do this well.
Those of you in Austin may be forced to sit through me practicing my remarks.

Laura has had to get a larger, brighter screen because her vision is bad enough that the old screen, as it aged, just wasn't cutting it anymore. And she had to back off one step on the screen rez too. I, however, am looking for a powerful machine with a micro-dot for a screen. Can't have a small keyboard though...
