Thanks for the feedback so far.  The website has a ways to go, but we are 
moving in the right direction.  Keep the comments coming.

Thanks for this website:
First of all, what is the point of the website? E.G. what do you or the 
group, want to accomplish with having a website?
Secondly, you should consider adding a mailing list so visitors can join a 
mailing list maybe to learn about upcoming events. I suggest “Convertkit” 
for mailing lists, however others use mail chimp or other limiting free 
mailing list software platforms.
Hears a “convert kit with voiceover” playlist you can listen to me doing 
some tasks with voiceover:

<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNC7pndw1rKMkzEsecN2u0hQ_WPti3-yH>
And then I’ve also got a free month of Convertkit if the devision wants to 
try it out:

The other thing I would change is log into Wordpress admin panel, go to 
customize, and modify the very last link with a “back to top” anchor text;;;
If we are a website for blind users, then we need to strive to provide an 
accessible website and having an unlabeled link at the bottom, ahem, doesn’t 
really do this :)
Another thing, when your viewing an article the heading isn’t showing up 
just before the article, but showing up above the menu then you see the date 
of the published article and the article it’s self. This could be 
streamlined, maybe find a theme or make some customization to this theme to 
place the heading above the text of the article, but this also could just be 
me :)
You may want to consider removing the dates from the website as it’s been 7 
months > since last the website was updated with content. This shows people 
that this website isn’t regularly updated.
Also, google loves consistent content.
That’s it, and thanks for creating this resource.
best.

If you click a link in this or other content published by me, it’s possible 
you may be clicking an affiliate link.
Clicking an affiliate link simply means i took the time to establish a 
relationship of some sort with companies so these companies would pay me a 
portion of what you pay them for the product or service you order.
I do this because it’s my goal to do what i can to provide the best life for 
my younger brothers and my wife who has done so much for our family.
You do not pay any more for ordering threw an affiliate link then what you 
would pay if you ordered the content directly threw the company producing 
the product/service.

I’ll be sharing more information about affiliate marketing in the 
Payown.Club <http://payown.club/> coming in March 2017.
Contact me if you have any question about what this means for you, and if 
you don’t wish to support me threw using affiliate links I publish, feel 
free to google the company/product/service.
