[Nfb-krafters-korner] Accessibility of Joanne's advertisements

[Dixie]

Wow!  Barb, that is a very generous offer.  I was hoping that it was just a
setting or an option in the email I had not found.  My first line of attack
will be to contact the publishers of the message and make sure that they are
using the proper web accessibility coding asking them to make their
publications 508 compliant.

Dixie, I'm not a screen reader user as of yet,  so can not help with the 
navigation issues, however I too receive the email circulation, perhaps I 
could help somehow. Converting the whole ad into a text format may be a 
bigger job than I could handle, maybe having a list of items people are 
looking for I could watch for and post to the list?
Could I be biting off more than I can chew? Maybe, but as long as I don't 
have to translate the complete ad, I'd be wiling to help the group out in 
this way as a way of giving back to the group.
