[Blindtlk] accessible Software to Make Accessible Websites?

[Marion Gwizdala]

Steve,
    I appreciate your input and value your opinions. I especially like your 
advice that I have better ways to utilize my talents and website 
construction is definitely not one of them! (grin) I would like to find a 
reliable NFB member to help me with the site, as I am a believer in 
supporting my family first!

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
