[blparent] Quick vote will help Seedlings Braille Books!

[David Andrews]

While JAWS isn't perfect, let's not blame it for what isn't its fault.  
It is the fault of the web site.  The vote link is there, near the top I 
think, it is a "mouseover."  You should be able to find it with a 
control-f then type in vote and hit enter.  If you don't find it, hit F3 
to repeat the search, as the word vote appears multiple times.
